- Feel free to ask your tour guide questions that are important to you that might not be covered in the tour such as their experiences with club or intramural sports, how easy they found it to secure internships, etc.
- Look around at the students on campus. Are they talking to one another and smiling? Each campus has a different energy, and you want to try and get a sense of that during your visit.
