• How much do your graduates make? (вопрос, конечно, немаловажный, но не задавайте его во время интервью, а то интервьеру может показаться, что вас интересуют только деньги; университеты заинтересованы в студентах, которые идут учиться из-за своей страсти к определенной сфере, а не из-за потенциально высоких зарплат)

• How easy is it to get an “A”? (такой вопрос звучит как будто вы ищете вуз, где можно получать “пятерки” ничего не делая; колледжи ищут студентов, которые готовы упорно работать и зарабатывать хорошие оценки своим трудом).
