I compiled a list of questions students and parents can ask to get some practical and useful information. Answers to some of these might not be readily available in catalogues or other publications.

It may be useful to review these questions before attending sessions with college representatives at Montville High School, at college fairs, or during campus visitations. They cover a variety of topics, and are in no particular order of importance.

Theodore H. Phillips, Ed.D.,
