Talk to students -
If you visit colleges while school is in session, you should make a point to approach a few students—in the cafeteria, at the library, or just while walking around campus.
Browse the bookstore -
If you are the first child in your family to attend college, you should prepare to dissociate yourself from your parents upon entering the bookstore.
Visit the office of your academic department chair -
If you have any inkling whatsoever about what your major in college might be, you should try to make an appointment to meet briefly with the department chair during your campus visit.
Size up the gym and on-campus athletic facilities -
If you’re interested in getting into or staying in shape, make sure your college has a state-of-the-art gym.
Locate the health center -
If you’re lucky, you won’t spend much time in the campus health center. It’s always reassuring to know you have access to medical care and technology.
Stop by the admission office -
Make an appointment to meet with an admission counselor so that they can get to know you more than a list of test scores and activities.
Survey the classroom -
If you think you can ace college exams without ever going to class, think again. Make sure you like the classroom settings of the college you’are visiting.
Eat at the dining hall -
You generally won’t have the time or space to prepare yourself a nice lunch or dinner, so the dining hall will be the simplest and most efficient way to eat on campus.
Coming to dorms -
When you're not in class or eating something in the cafeteria, there's a very good chance that you'll be in your dorm room. When you're visiting colleges, ask to see the freshman dorms and upperclassman dorms as well.
Hang out on the quad -
You can't lock friends in your dorm room. This is why colleges and universities offer quads and other comparable hangout spots. It can be as simple as a nice lawn for reading or an open area for playing soccer or frisbee.
