<p>Hey, just trying to figure out a few more things about my top choices, so I’m posting a thread with a few questions in each school’s forum. I know a few answers, but I wanted to hear from current students or recent alumni.</p>
<li><p>Do you feel the professors at your university are open to and care about undergraduate students? Are there professors who would go out to lunch with their students to talk or seem to only be open during class?</p></li>
<li><p>How is housing decided in your university? Is there a lottery system or does it go by seniority?</p></li>
<li><p>How easy would it be to travel to NYC from the university? Is it costly or inexpensive or somewhere in between?</p></li>
<li><p>Do students on campus have a sense of activism? Are there volunteer opportunities available in the surrounding neighborhood?</p></li>
<li><p>Are there any quirky campus traditions?</p></li>
<li><p>What can a student who is not into parties do for fun on campus?</p></li>
<li><p>Is there help available for students struggling to make the transition from high school to college?</p></li>
<li><p>How is the pre-med counseling at the school? What is it like for a student to be pre-med at your university? Difficult/competitive? How likely is it for a premed to be able to move on to a top medical school?</p></li>
<li><pre><code>What is the general attitude on campus?
</code></pre></li>
<li><p>How easy is it to get involved in research? Will you be able to delve in freshman/sophomore year, or will you have to wait till junior/senior year? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>ETA: 10th question</p>
