Is there a protocol for visiting a class as a prospective student?

We’re doing a campus visit on Monday Oct. 1. We have the list of classes available to visit. Is there anything we need to do ahead of time, or does the student just talk to the prof before class starts to let them know they’re sitting in?

That’s all there is to it. My daughter visited several on a visit a few years ago and was even able to actively participate. Rice is a beautiful campus and I hope your student enjoys their time!

How was your student’s experience visiting Rice and sitting in on classes?

She ended up sitting in on just one class but enjoyed it. She had an interview with a senior student who made her feel comfortable. We ate lunch with another student who told us all about her residential college. We did a campus tour in the rain and that was actually good because she likes rain! She thought the campus was beautiful with all the trees and the greenery, and she liked the feel of the place and how everyone emphasized the close community.
