Hi,

So I was accepted into my #1 school for chemical engineering. I wanted any advice on any questions I should have or prepared to ask the personal running the program that might not be obvious to incoming student. I'm a transfer student with a fairly high gpa, and all of my credits have been accepted, would the physics forum suggest any question that may be useful to a transfer student.
