Top 18 Questions to Ask at University Open Days
Visiting a University for the first time can be a little overwhelming. You could end up spending at least 3 years of your life at this location and you need to make sure you make the right choice. Therefore it is important that you are prepared with questions and queries that you can ask in order to get a clear and coherent understanding of the University. Having a good set of questions to ask can help you to get the most out of the open day and also help to settle your nerves. We have put together a list that can help inspire you for questions you may wish to ask:
