Should I change my university ranking after Open Campus if my impressions differ from what I expected?
Yes. You may change your preferred ranking if your impression differs from what you expected. However, do not decide solely from the atmosphere on one open-campus day. Identify what differed—such as the courses, fit with your intended field, commuting, costs, or support—and consider whether it is a temporary impression or an important mismatch that would affect you after enrollment. Compare other universities and check official information or additional sources before deciding.
Key points
- Separate differences in atmosphere from differences in academic content or the learning environment.
- Judge whether the difference is acceptable in light of the factors you personally value when choosing a university.
- Strengthen your decision by comparing universities, attending additional events, or checking official information.
Things to check
- Details about courses and systems can vary by faculty, department, campus, and academic year, so check the latest official information.
