Before choosing any one MBA school, visit several

You should try to visit several campuses before settling on a definite choice. To do this, make appointments by calling the MBA admissions staff. They will generally be happy to set up a guided tour for you including inviting you to sit in on classes. Your most valuable tool, though, on these visits is the opportunity to speak with current students. They are usually happy to openly share their experiences, good and bad, with potential students. You would do well to listen carefully and even jot down a few pointers.
