On-campus open houses are a great way to get a feel of how well a certain school suits you. A live visit does much more than any web site, virtual tour, brochure, or pamphlet can ever do. Some things to keep in mind are as follows:

• Contact the admissions office beforehand by phone, e-mail, or online to reserve your space at the open house.
• Make a list of questions you do not want to forget to ask.
• Always try to talk to current students on campus. Take the opportunity to ask them any questions you have.
• Look for over-night open house opportunities.
• Ask ahead of time for an opportunity to sit in in a class of your choice
