Good questions to ask

It is always good to ask about the bar scene near the school. You want to make sure that there are plenty of establishments available within the vicinity of the school to provide you with ample entertainment on your lunch breaks.
 
How about how much money average graduates make and if you will really have to do volunteer-like activities while in school?
 
My experience is that you should ask the most honest questions you can think of asking. If the faculty don't like being asking, "Is there anything about your school that could be improved," then that could be a sign that the school is not open to criticisms of its programs.
On one of my interviews, I asked "This school looks pretty old, if I went here I would be paying top dollar for a run-down school." The interviewer responded, "don't judge a school by the condition of the walls, judge it by the quality of its faculty." Penn's preclinic lab is pretty old, but I can say that we had amazing instructors. I wouldn't trade my preclinical faculty for any fancy lab or computer system.
