UQ0098

Is it better to attend Open Campus alone or with a parent?

Which is better depends on your purpose and what makes you feel comfortable. Going alone makes it easier to explore at your own pace and imagine student life more independently. Going with a parent allows you to discuss tuition, commuting, housing, and other practical matters together while getting another perspective. If you are unsure, you can attend the information session together and explore the campus or speak with students separately.

Key points

  • Going alone makes it easier to follow your own interests and schedule.
  • Going with a parent is useful for discussing tuition, commuting, housing, and other practical matters.
  • You can combine both approaches by attending the information session together and exploring separately.

Things to check

  • Whether parents may attend and whether there are parent-specific sessions varies by university and event session, so check the official information.
