When you are ready to start looking at colleges, it’s crucial to know what questions to ask.

Unfortunately, too many parents and teenagers fail to adequately research colleges and universities before committing to one.

Failing to do a thorough job researching schools is a major reason why roughly a third of students attending four-year private and state colleges and universities end up transferring somewhere else.

Transferring is usually an expensive proposition since students almost always lose some academic credits which can ultimately delay graduation.

You don’t have to ask every question on this list since not all of them will be relevant, but a great deal of the questions should be.
