So guys quick question, when I apply for a university and I get accepted, do I have to visit the college beforehand (you know to check what I have available) or I can just go there the day that my classes start? 

Any university that is legitimate enough to go to requires you to go to a orientation the summer before the semester starts. How else you are going to schedule your classes or take placement exams?

You nearly would always go to the university and visit and view things beforehand, such as some basic areas and locations as well as your dorm/housing area. The only exceptions that i've heard of from friends was going to a school in another country or enrolling in a type of community college. (And even then, i've heard of friends doing this on one, maybe two occasions out of all?)

 

This is just from my experience though, and between what I and dozens of close friends i know did.

If it's a legit 4 year college, then they will probably hassle you about setting up orientations and meetings which is good (Protip- If the staff treat you like a customer and almost never contact you, then find another college if possible. You're giving them an unnecessary amount of money; they should care about you and take an active role in your education and planning).

If it's a community college or tech school, then you're responsible for going there, and I'd recommend it. Get to know where stuff is, and where the important buildings are. Don't be that guy that looks like a touristy, lost freshman.
