See the Campus Before Committing A demo beats a brochure. Campus demos are tour days, sample lectures, dorm walkthroughs, and student-tech showcases — the try-before-you-buy of campus life.

Any chance to experience a campus before committing — tours, open lectures, dorm walkthroughs, and student showcase days.

A weekday dining hall, the buildings your major lives in, and students who aren't paid to talk to you. The checklist covers all three.

Events where student-built projects — apps, hardware, research — are demonstrated live to peers, faculty, and recruiters.
