11. Undergraduate Relations
It is worth researching whether a university places a greater value on educating its undergraduate student body or those enrolled in graduate programs. Many colleges will be very forthcoming about their emphasis, and certainly students will know.
Since you are most likely considering undergraduate programs if you are reading this, you might want to ask if undergraduates have direct access to faculty or just teaching assistants (although TAs are everywhere). You might be familiar with a school by its name and reputation, but find out if that reputation is more for its graduate programs such as medical school or law school like Harvard or Stanford, or a general liberal arts education like Yale.
