Retention rate. If it’s really low, that means a lot of people are leaving that school for some reason.
Job placement rate. If it’s really low, it means not a lot of graduates of that school are able to find jobs or get into graduate school.
Financial aid. How many student

s receive some type of financial aid. What kind of scholarships/work study does the school offer.
Diversity. Look beyond the percentage of each ethnicity. Ask about ethnic organizations. While on a tour, see if students of different ethnicities actually interact with each other.
Awards the school has recently won. Whether in sports, music, literature or just general campus life. Gives you an idea of what the school is actually good at.
Internship opportunities. You should get some sort of experience in your field while as an undergraduate. Ask how many students do internships. What resources are available from the school to help students find internships.

    Be sure to ask about their security, ask about if they have a bus system to shuttle between classes especially at night, find out how safe the campus is! At my school its in a nice area of town but in the past two months we have had 4 students robbed at gunpoint while leaving class.
