First college visit (Macalester) - How to make most of campus visit

We are doing our first college visit that isn’t the local state school! We are seeing Macalester because it’s a (relatively) close drive and checks all my daughter’s boxes: Small class size, lots of interactions with professors, good potential for research/internships, in an urban area but still a college campus, no Greek life, good bio/neuro departments, study abroad AND meets NPC calculator. Hard target/rationale reach. So we know the ‘on paper basics’ – but what do you look for on the visit? We are going on a campus tour: Basic intro talk, walk around, and students panel We have an afternoon/evening free before that where we plan to walk around the area near campus, and take a stroll around campus. How do we make the most of this limited time?
