When you join us on campus, not only will you be able to find out all the key information you need, you'll be able to see and experience for yourself what university life is really like.
Here are our tips for getting the most out of your day:
TALK TO OUR STUDENTS
Have an informal conversation with current students to learn about their student experience and their stories about student life.
TAKE A MOMENT
Take a moment to stop, catch your breath and take in your surroundings. Reflect on how you feel and think about whether you can picture yourself living here.
ENJOY YOURSELF
Make sure you plan time for food and drinks stops throughout the day and make use of any quiet spaces if you feel overwhelmed at any point.
