It really depends on the interviewer. They can take different interpretations to your asked questions.

If the interview is really candid, you could ask a general interesting question about the interviewers profile - maybe he has contrasting work ex given his education, so on and so forth.

Any question regarding the school or life @ school, which is not given on the website or easily found on net can be a safe bet. When doing this - think of yourself as the representative of the school's student club and asking on all student's behalf.

If nothing comes up, maybe you can ask what's the next step and when can you expect any communication from them.


Generally, try thinking what is the purpose of your question, and it solve that ?
Try to use the question as another opportunity to excite or impress the interviewer.

You should ask questions that you genuinely want to know the answer to but could not get simply from researching the internet.

I agree that the question portion is another chance to impress and excite the interviewer, but you also don't want to ask an interesting-seeming question that doesn't really interest you. The interviewer will see right through your glazed over eyes and think that you are being inauthentic.

Good luck!
