What should I look at during an Open Campus visit?
Check the curriculum in your field of interest, the content of classes and laboratories, facilities and equipment, and the atmosphere among students and faculty. Also consider commuting time, the surrounding environment, tuition and scholarships, student-life and career support, and admissions methods. Ask current students and faculty questions rather than only listening to explanations, and compare multiple universities using the same criteria.
Key points
- Before visiting, note your questions and the conditions that matter most to you.
- If possible, participate in a trial class or visit a laboratory.
- Ask current students specifically about their actual experience of classes and student life.
- Record photos and impressions, then compare universities after your visits.
Things to check
- Curricula, costs, support programs, and admissions information may vary by year and faculty, so check the latest official information.
