And, if you're staying a few days, order delivery from a few places one night. When I lived in the Gamma Phi house it was 8 girls to one normal-sized kitchen so I lived off campus food and delivery!
Another thing I would ask, if you/your kid is interested in athletics: what is the team travel schedule like? When I was on the track team we were away every weekend - but the nearest school in our conference was at least three hours away by bus. It was really tiring to leave at 4 a.m. on Saturday and get back at 3 a.m. on Sunday.
