Agree with all above. If you do have a real question that you haven’t found the answer to, make it clear that you have actually tried. As a simple hypothetical, suppose you are a prospective engineering major interested in study abroad (sometimes this can be difficult). You’ve looked at the study abroad pages (ALL of them) and it’s not clear how many engineering students are able to take advantage of this. You might write something like “I’m a prospective electrical engineering student, and am also interested in study abroad. I’ve looked at your pages … and while they say that X% of students study abroad, I haven’t been able to find out if it is a similar percentage for engineering students. Can you tell me whether the engineering curriculum allows for…”

But don’t make up questions just to pester them!
