The advent of e-mail has probably made communicating with colleges too convenient. Schools are getting deluged with questions that the answers can easily be found on the website. By asking these types of questions shows that you have not done your research about the college and can leave the impression with the admissions counselor that you are not really that interested in attending.
One way to avoid making this type of mistake is to print out all the Frequently Asked Questions you come across on the website. They can be found in admissions, financial aid, academics and just about any other section of the college website. File these FAQs in a folder that you have set up for college information and then review them before asking a question via e-mail or phone.
