Parent questions at school visits?

I brought a long list of questions that I asked each school. I wish I could remember what they were. I know one was if they had counselors to deal with homesickness. But what helped me was asking each school the same questions and seeing the different ways they responded. Then after the interviews (not during) I sat down either in my car or in my hotel room and wrote copious notes and then I taped or stapled the business cards I was handed into the notebook. This way I was able to keep track of the seven schools we visited in five days. But I agree about visiting the schools. At least one of the schools I thought would be our favorite actually did not seem so great in person.
