Visiting Princeton during Spring Break

I want to be as prepared as possible and get as much as I can out of the experience, since I probably will not be able to visit again.

Are there certain things/events that I should place on the top of my priority list to see/do? Certain questions I should ask my tour guide or admissions counselor? Certain things I should bring with me to have the admissions counselor look at? Specific classes I should sit-in on? Good places to eat? Anything. really.

I'm planning on majoring in political science, and I'm an accomplished classical pianist (I'm submitting a CD with my application). I'm also most likely going to have the Professor of Piano listen to me, if available.

If you visit on a Wednesday while classes are in session, there's a fantastic international relations seminar (POL 440) you might want to sit in on if you have the time (it runs from 1:30 - 4:20, fyi). Otherwise, Civil Liberties (POL 316) is an especially good lecture course.

Edit: as for eating, depends on your tastes and budget. Ajihei is a sushi restaurant close to campus that serves the best sushi I've ever had outside of Nobu, but it's a bit pricey. Witherspoon Grill, also close to campus, has simply outstanding meat, but is also on the expensive side.

Everyone needs to stop by Hoagie Haven for true snackage. Get any of their specialty sandwiches and you'll be fine.

Make a stop by the Art Museum and chapel as well. They're beautiful.
