Campus visits before applying for MSF

Hi, everybody. I am currently applying for MSF in several universities and considering visiting some of them. Can somebody give me an advice on: 1) how to prepare for the visits (except for studying all the info on university websites)? 2) what should I do during the visits? meet some students? meet a professor? attend a class? 3) should I visit all the universities I am planning to apply to or just the main choices (2-4)?

About me: -GMAT 750 -took TOEFL just 2 days ago, so don't know the results yet -GPA 3.4/4.0 - graduated from the most prestigious Russian economic university (BS in Economics) -had 2 internships in Audit Department at KPMG and in Research Department at the largest Russian PE fund, had 0.5 year of part-time working at McKinsey and 1.5 years of full-time employment at one of the largest Russian Management Consulting firms - all working experience in Russia -recently moved in the US, so didn't yet apply for jobs here (but I have work permit)

I'd independently reach out to current students or try and get adcoms to introduce you to them. Figure out which classes interest you and see if you can meet with the professors. Walk around the campus and take some notes on how it feels, what the students seem like, etc. Meet with the career office and see how helpful they are, if they can talk to you about who comes on campus, who hires, etc. Tour the surrounding area to see places you might live. Will you need a car or are there places on/near campus that?

Basically it. Get a good feel for the place and see if you feel comfortable and like it.
