I will soon be going on an unofficial visit for my sport. I will be there a whole weekend, and I will take a tour of the campus and athletic facilities. After I finish all of my tours and meet with the coaches and athletes, would it be normal / expected to hang out with the athletes at night off-campus? I want to make a good impression and get to know some of the athletes, but I’m not aware if I can do that on an unofficial visit
I would not expect to hang out with the athletes at night for an unofficial visit. For official visits athletes are assigned recruits to entertain. Most tolerate the job but dont really enjoy crimping their limited social life to entertain a recruit. So the chances they would do that voluntary is probably slim.
