<p>If you were to ask an admission officer about.a school, what type of questions would you ask? I prefer to see more" out of the box" questions rather than" what is tuition, how. mpacted is this major, bla bla"
So does anyone have any out of the box, questions?
They can be funny, honest, creative doesn’t matter, as long as they are not" standard "questions everyone asks.</p>
<p>My sister is applying to art programs and gets questions on the color yellow and stuff. I think those outside-the-box questions look a lot more fun than the generic prompts (and I already have found essays to be the most fun section of apps).</p>
<p>Is there free printing? Can I get a really cheap semester pass for the local public transportation system?</p>
<p>Ignore my first post, I misread.</p>
<p>I did actually ask an outside the box question while touring UCLA. They have a fountain there that they hold a tradition called “bruintizing” in. Afterwards, they are not supposed to touch the water again until they graduate, because superstition has it that every time one touches the water, a quarter will be added to their time at the school.</p>
<p>My question was, “so, if I touch the water now, does that mean that I’m guaranteed a quarter?”</p>
<p>
:D</p>
<p>Not once have I stepped on the sixth Janss step. Nor have I ever tripped on the awkward steps. I’m quite proud.</p>
<p>To an admissions officer I might ask about internet availability. I’ve been surprised by how many colleges have slow connections, spotty coverage on campus, stupid restrictions (e.g. Websense), and other BS. And it’s not merely a matter of convenience. The quality of a campus’s network is an indicator of its funding, its management’s respect (or lack of respect) for technology, and the competence of its IT department. That’s especially important to a computer science major.</p>
