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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Find out what the town is like. What the layout of the school is. Where the study halls, libraries, tutor hours. Public transit, engineering clubs, or groups. Is the the stuff you're referring to?
 
Any thing that could be relevant to a transfer student that's not on the website. But yes these types of questions
