<p>Well my best advice is that they should be questions you actually have! Sure, they want to see that you are inquisitive, but it’s not all about judging you – it’s actually meant to be an opportunity for you to clear up anything you didn’t know the answer to. </p>
<p>I think that more personal experience-oriented questions lend themselves to this and will benefit you more than asking something statistical. For example, asking about the experience of the residential colleges, or a certain aspect of them like friend groups or something. Or maybe something like a question about campus opportunities or clubs/special interest groups, or stuff around Houston. It doesn’t hurt to look up this stuff beforehand, but just because there’s info online doesn’t mean you can’t ask for a personal perspective. </p>
<p>Is this an on-campus interview or alumni? I guess your questions will differ a little depending on that, since the admissions office people didn’t all go to Rice. Still friendly though :)</p>
