How much should one Open Campus visit influence my university choice?
One Open Campus visit is useful evidence because it lets you check the learning environment and atmosphere firsthand, but it should not be the sole basis for your university choice. Compare what you observed with the curriculum, commute, costs, admissions, and support systems, and if possible use more than one visit or online session together with current official information.
Key points
- Use the visit to check aspects that are difficult to judge online, such as classes, facilities, and interactions with students or staff.
- Separate your personal impression from your priorities, such as what you want to study and acceptable commuting conditions.
- Compare the university with others using information sessions, official websites, and application materials.
Things to check
- What you can see and how the event is conducted vary by university, faculty, and academic year, so check the latest official information.
