  Does your admission ticket have a room number? (Mine does). If you're close enough to the university, could you make a trip over and check it out yourself?

  Good question, all the ticket says is to report to the main lobby. Nothing else really. And even if I did have a room #, LSAC says you can't visit the room prior to your test.

  I think they're referring to going to the actual room and like being there before proctors/staff/etc.
  
  Test centers are commonly public locations like universitys, convention halls/auditoriums, etc. They can't really "prevent" you from going there.
  
  As far as your tiny desk example..I was afraid of this before the center change deadline, so I went to my TC (Roxbury community college in Boston) and checked out the building/classrooms to get familiar with what I was working with and to see if I needed a change.
  
  Sure enough, in basically every classroom I saw (keep in mind, admissions tickets weren't released so I wasn't looking at the actual room) had a mix of tiny desks and good sized desks.
  
  I emailed LSAC politely asking that only big desks be used at the TC because having desks of different sizes in the same room may give some people an advantage over others. I understand there's variance in desks at different TCs, but that shouldn't happen within the same room of like 20 people. Of course I never got a response..but they didn't contact me saying I "violated" a rule.
  
  Id say go check out the TC, it's important to know exactly where you're heading on test day

  I also get the impression this is what they mean.

  Thanks @"Ron Swanson"
  I actually did a lot to research before signing up for this specific test center. I read so many great reviews; almost everyone said you get your own big desk + not really much noise. Everything seemed good. But then around a few weeks ago, a 7sager said he took the test there and he had one of those small, pull-out desks. Totally sucks, although some may say I'm overreacting
  I think it depends on when you take the test. All the great reviews I read were from students who took the test in December/Feb, when there are typically fewer test takers. June is the most popular LSAT so maybe that's why they stuff everyone into one big hall.
  Visiting the center wouldn't help as there's no room# on my ticket so I wouldn't know where the test is being held. Plus, it doesn't seem like it's allowed. That's why I was hoping to call and get an answer from someone but don't wanna risk anything with LSAC.
