Did anyone attend the accepted students day?

Had a chance to speak to my wife about your questions, she doesn’t remember any info about the small number of classes offered. There were conversations about ‘mini-classes’ at the beginning of the term that are 15 minute samples offered by professors to give students a preview of what to expect. Apparently good mini-classes lead to an abundance of kids trying to register for that class, and once it is full there being few similar options, so I guess it does affect students options.
I saw the dining hall when I toured and it wasn’t impressive compared to some of the other schools we’ve seen. Small selections and pretty utilitarian, it does have a pretty good looking deli section. However they have a great student run cafe on campus where you can use your meal plan. Veggie wraps, good looking salads, nice decor. I think it was called four winds cafe. I think there is a price premium to the meal plan to eat there.
The dorms offer more cooking options than others we have seen, and apparently student potlucks are pretty common.
