Look on the website, for one. If you have any questions, call/e-mail the school and ask. Talk to people who've been there.

Also, why are you applying to the school? Unless you just picked it randomly knowing nothing about it, you should have a reason for applying there.

As much detail as possible within the word limit is good, just as in any essay.
