<p>Planning a visit for Frebruary. Didn't see anything obvious on the admissions web site about visiting a class. What's the procedure to visit a class (math)? Will there be a list of open classes, or is it better to contact department/prof directly?</p>
<p>It’s been a few years since DS did this, but as I recall you can contact the admissions department and they’ll give you list of classes where the professor allows prospective students to quietly sit in.</p>
<p>What Sherpa said. You can contact the admissions office beforehand (they will also have a list of classes when you do visit too). If there is a course that is NOT listed, then you can e-mail the professor to see if he will allow you to sit in for the day. Most professors are very friendly, and I doubt that many will turn you down.</p>
<p>Well, I’ll tell you a short story. I went to visit a friend of mine at Princeton one day, but she had a morning POL class. It was a medium sized, around 75 kids. Since I didn’t really feel like waiting around, I kinda just sat in on it. I quietly took notes on Rousseau and his theories. It was a good time. In response to your question, I would go through the official routes that Sherpa suggested, but know that so long as you can find a large enough class, it likely won’t really matter.</p>
