For all 3 kids, we much much preferred visiting on a random day, where we got a more accurate feel for the vibe. Admitted student days are like advertisements, geared to convincing applicants to say yes (and improve yield stats). One of my kids did an overnight and all 3 attended classes in their prospective major, once admitted, and we hung around the dining hall, bookstore, library and in some cases campus green to get a feel for the place. We also walked downtown or in the neighborhood.
