What questions to ask at the end of a college interview

RReaders in Stanford's admissions office treated the questions an applicant asks at the end of an interview as part of the evaluation, and most students give them no preparation at all. The invitation comes near the end of nearly every interview, and students reach for whatever comes to mind: how big the classes are, whether there is a good study abroad program. The interviewer answers politely and writes nothing memorable. A few minutes that could have shown curiosity, maturity and some nerve go to filling time instead. Those minutes deserve as much preparation as your answers, and the preparation begins with what to leave out.
