Yes, a post-acceptance visit can be done if you want to observe the actual campus environment (rather than the presumably idealized version found on the web site).

Some hints can be found on sites like http://www.collegedata.com , such as percentage of students in campus housing, percentage of students in fraternities and sororities, etc… To the extent that such factors are of interest to you, you may want to look them up before visiting, so that you can put some context into your observations and know what questions to ask for more details.
