Visiting Campus

[Cheshire_Cat]

So, the school I am most likely going to end up attending is within walking distance from where I work.  In fact, one of my favorite lunch places is right beside the business school.   I visited once for a Ph.D interest meeting, but didn't see very much.  I am wondering if I should check out campus some more, and if so, what I should visit?  My POI said that I could come by any time if I wanted a tour.  It would be really easy for me to visit during lunch or after work, so I am thinking about it.

I would definitely go for a tour.  Things that interest me on my campus visits are the library, especially if there is a department specific one, any spaces/offices/areas allocated for grad student use, and if there are any comfortable places to go/relax/work on things between classes or during downtime.  I also care about nearby and campus museums, but that's field specific.   The bookstore can be interesting too, just for the fun of it; though I've never actually used campus bookstores for textbooks, just merchandise.  And possibly where department classes are taught - I've seen instances where classes either attended by grad students or taught by grad TAs are far away from the department itself and grad offices.  Just something worth knowing!
