Should I visit laboratories during a science or engineering Open Campus?
Yes, if possible, visiting laboratories is recommended. In addition to research topics, look at the facilities, the atmosphere among students and faculty, and how clearly things are explained. This can help you imagine the learning experience in ways that course information alone cannot. Prioritize laboratories that interest you, ask current students about their activities and how laboratory assignment works, and check the official guidance in advance for visiting procedures and what is open to visitors.
