Questions to ask current grad students:


About the faculty - who is great to work with, who is difficult to work with, etc.
About the library/labs/research facilities - where are the problems/challenges, if any?
About placement after degree - what are recent grads doing, where have they gone?
About money - Are the stipends adequate to live on in that particular area?
About housing - What are the local options? What are optimal ones and why?
About your personal concerns - kids, trailing partner in need of job opportunities, good vegan shopping, pets, etc. etc. etc.


And of course they will answer truthfully! Why wouldn’t they???
