What specific questions should I ask the university when I go for my tour. I am pretty sure where I want to go and am set on the program I want to do (Nutrition). I just want to know more specifically what I need. Two I thought of were: -what residences are around here other than the ones in the catelogue, and -is there a labtop that students prefer over another.. (Apple,Pc..How big HD)

Okay, first of all, be kind of careful when you ask the question about residences. I'm not saying all colleges lie, but several will tell their employees to really play up the dorms. Afterall, if you live in the dorms, the college makes more money! Just something to think about =0) And, to tell the truth, dorm life isn't always bad! Make sure you really weigh out the cost of dorm life vs. apartment cost. Compare money cost (water, electricity, gas, sewer, trash, etc.) as well as time costs (mowing the lawn, painting the house, taking care of things that break) when it comes to thinking about living off campus.
Questions I think you should ask:
1. What is the job placement rate for that major?
2. Will I need a minor to go along with that major? If so, what suggestions do you make?
3. How many professors are in my program of study?
4. Are there any student organizations on campus that I would be interested in? (This is really personal to you. If you are religious, ask about religious organizations. If you are interested in Greek life, ask about Sor/Frats on campus. etc!)
5. Ask to see the degree program if you haven't all ready!
6. Ask if it would be possible to talk to some students in your major on that campus. After all, who knows better about the program than the students all ready there!
A lot of these questions are really specific to the department. I know this will sound like a lot of work (and I'll be honest, I have no information about nutrition-type jobs), but ask yourself "what do I want to be" and "Where do I want work" when I grow up type questions. Then, call that place or someone with a similar job and ask if they have any recommendations about where to get a degree. Some colleges out there, unfortunately, just don't offer a good program and once you are out trying to find a job, it is too late to go back and re-think your choice of colleges.
Best of luck to you!

Ask about academic help and enrichment programs, Ask about scholarships, Ask about extra curricular activities, ask about job placement at graduation, ask about wireless connectivity, which will lead into your laptop questions, ask about student to teach ratios, certainly ask about residences around the school but make sure you are eligible to move off of campus, many campuses insist you live on campus your first two years.

Ask for their safety ratings...you want a safe environment! You could also ask for some names of alumni in your area of interest...see what they think about their experience.
