UQ1715

What should I record after Open Campus so I can compare universities later?

Record the university, faculty or department, date of the visit, sessions or classes you attended, what you learned, facilities, interactions with students and staff, travel time, costs, answers to your questions, and your own impressions. Using the same categories for each university—what was good, what concerned you, and what still needs checking—will make later comparisons easier.

Key points

  • Keep specific notes on the programs and information you experienced.
  • Compare not only academic content but also travel, costs, and support using the same criteria.
  • Separate personal impressions from items that must later be confirmed through official information.

Things to check

  • Details such as session content, systems, and costs can vary by faculty, department, and academic year, so confirm important information in each university’s official materials.
