Good questions to ask on a tour?

What are some great questions to ask during a college tour?

I’m excited to share that I got accepted into my dream college in late February! Next Thursday, I’ll be attending an orientation and tour, and I want to make the most of it. I would love some advice on what questions to ask and what to pay attention to during the visit.

Here are a few details about my situation:
– I’ll be entering with my AA degree.
– I plan to major in science/medicine.
– I will likely be living on campus, but I’m still unsure about dorm life.
– The school is accredited and offers the pre-vet program I’m interested in.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
