Size of the incoming cohort?

So I will begin a doctoral program in Slavic this fall, but since our departments are small they normally don't offer visit days before admissions. This question doesn't have any special importance since I have already committed, but would it be impolite to ask how many people will be joining the program this year?

No. Go ahead and ask.

It's a very good question and typically something recommended whenever there are those "What are some good questions to ask when I'm at a school visit?" posts here.
