My D meet with faculty at almost every school we visited. In each case, arrangements were made in advance. In each case the faculty interest and response was remarkable. The information and contacts were very valuable. You may also find that this also works with admissions. My D often had scheduled interviews with admissions officers. Without the discussions the college tours are not worth much. I suspect most impressions come from random comments from the tour guides and the appearance of the buildings. These may not be that reliable as criteria for selecting a college.
