Actually finding the students is probably easier than you think–just show up one or two of their classes. You want to pick the upper-level courses as you want to talk to majors in your area of interest, not others that are there to fulfill the distro. My suggestion is to show up like 5-10 minutes before the class and use that time to talk to some of those that show up early. They have nothing to do but waiting and that’s the easiest time for ice-breaking. You may end up having a few eagerly to follow up with you after the class. Some may be hurried to go to next class but I am sure some will be free to talk to you. How the class goes is not as important as you probably don’t want to judge the whole institution based on just one class.
