An example of one day at Stanford University: meeting with Dance Division Chair, participation in Advanced Ballet class, observation of Choreography class, attendance at a Psychology lecture followed by a meeting with the Psychology coordinator.  Lunch in a little-known campus Thai restaurant tucked away in the historic Quad, dinner in the dining hall.  

An example of a four-campus trip to the Pacific Northwest and Mid West:  coordinated seven airline legs, five hotel nights, admissions interviews, class observations, coffee dates with students, professor meetings, music concerts, lunch in dining halls, Engineering lab tours.

Interested in paleontology and marching band? No problem! All in one day, after taking a campus tour, our student met 1:1 with the curator of the Paleontology Museum and attended the Paleontology Department lunchtime seminar where she mingled with more professors and students in her area of interest, then met with the Director of the Marching Band at this Big-Ten Conference college.
