How to get the most out of your University Open Day!

Visiting a university on an Open Day is the perfect opportunity to get the answers to all the questions you have about degree schemes, departments, accommodation, living costs and much more. An Open Day is a great way for you to get a feel for a place that will become your home from home for the next few years.

To help you get through what can be a busy day our students have written a guide to help make your life that bit easier. "Your Perfect Open Day Guide" highlights a number of ways you can prepare for and manage your university visit. You can download the full guide here, but just to give you an idea of what’s inside, here are a few examples:

• Choose your visits wisely - limit your choices to the universities which most suit your needs.
• Be prepared – the guide will take you through some of the things you need to be aware of when planning your visit including:
  • Reading up on an institution before visiting
  • Why you should let them know you are coming
  • Helping you to prepare some questions for both the tutors and tour guides
  • Bring a friend or family member – someone who can offer an unbiased opinion of the university as you may be too focused on the day to fully appreciate the bigger picture.
  • Make a day of it; don’t rush around, you will spend a long time at university, so investigate it properly when you get the chance

Open Days are the perfect way to get a feel for a university, and a little preparation will make your visit more worthwhile. Download your guide now and use the information to better understand what you need to do, say and look out for when visiting a university.
