Could someone in the know answer some questions about what actually takes place on these official visits?

1) Arrival / Departure of player?
2) All business? Interviews? Touring Facilities? or also some social stuff?
3) Free time to roam?

Anyways, I'm just thinking, what physically happens on these visits. Thanks!

From what I have read in the past it goes something like this:
Arrive on campus some time Friday and get settled into whatever accomodations are supplied;
A meet and greet with the coaches and some of the players and all recruits;
A meal together, sometimes at the coaches house, sometimes at a restaurant; Time out on the town with a host from the team;
Get up the next day for breakfast and meet with academic advisors, coaches, tour the facilities and the like throughout the day;
That night usually another get together and taken over to the stadium (this may or may not happen on Friday night);
There they introduce them on the Jumbotron after they have toured the lockerroom and things like that;
More time that night with their host player;
On Sunday, get up and see the coaches again to say goodbyes and talk about the visit and then leave some time that afternoon.

That is how most recruiting visits that I have read about seem to go.
