<p>My son signed up for the admitted student open house in March. We know is that this is a 2-day event with an overnight, and that the schedule will be emailed about a week before. Do we need to ask ahead of time if there are specific departments/programs/extracurricular activities that he wants to make sure to see? Or does that happen once he gets there? </p>
<p>Also, are there sessions for the families both days, or do we have time to be tourists?</p>
<p>We went last year to one in April. The year has all been a blur since then. Ha ha, but as I recall the sessions are just repeated and you go to the ones that interest you in the slots available. Their sessions are very informative and I walked away with information overload. We did take some of that time to skip a session and just walk and explore at our leisure. I don’t recall having to make any special arrangements before hand for scheduling, I think the only exception would be if your son needs to meet with a athletic coach. I believe he can also visit classes but I think that is scheduled when you either receive the material or upon arrival. All of the departments/programs/extracurricular activities are well covered in the sessions. Someone else may come along that could add to my weak memory.</p>
<p>You can sight see too but I would suggest you add a day to your visit or you will have to skip some sessions to do it.</p>
<p>Thank you, BluePoodle. This will be our first and only visit, so I want to make sure we see everything.</p>
