The two questions I always tried to ask are whether they had trouble getting the classes they wanted and if financial aid followed the student if they chose to study abroad. The latter question I wouldn’t have thought of had I not heard somewhere that at some schools need-based aid only follows you if you do one of the programs run specifically by the school (i.e., your choices would be seriously limited compared to classmates). Only an issue if you have significant need-based aid, but as my D definitely wants to study abroad it was an important question for us (and we got a variety of answers). The registration question also got a variety of answers and they were usually unscripted answers as the kids talked about their and their friends’ experience.
