How do I prepare for a university Open Day?
Make the most of your Open Day by planning ahead! Start by researching the Open Day program to map out key activities and sessions you want to do. Bring a notebook and pen to jot down useful information, plus a water bottle to stay hydrated. Prepare a list of questions about degrees, campus life or anything else you are curious about.
Register so you can create a personalised schedule for information sessions, workshops and tours based on your areas of interest. You can easily update and add more to your schedule, so you don’t miss out on anything.
Remember transport and parking! Plan ahead to find the best way to get to the campus and look up parking options if you intend to drive. Consider public transport or carpooling as a sustainable option that can also reduce stress.
