How could you get a better idea of what college is really like than going to classes? Your day may include lunch at the food court in the Memorial Union; visits to classes related to your prospective major; tours of the Parks Library, child development lab school, a residence hall room, a computer lab, Lied Recreation Athletic Center, and University Book Store.
