Should parents talk directly to university staff at Open Campus?
Yes. Parents may ask university staff questions directly, and this can be useful for matters the family wants to confirm, such as tuition, scholarships, commuting or student-life support, and how communication works after enrollment. However, parent participation and questions are not mandatory. Ideally, the prospective student should remain the main listener, with the parent adding questions when helpful.
Key points
- Parents can ask about costs and support systems that concern the family.
- A parent can raise points the student may find difficult to ask about.
- Preparing questions in advance and using the event’s consultation opportunities can make the visit more effective.
Things to check
- The topics and consultation methods available vary by university, faculty, and academic year, so check the institution’s official information as well.
