Top tips for getting the most out of a university exhibition
Wear comfortable shoes and bring a strong bag. The exhibitions are huge and you can bet that the universities you want to see will be at different ends of the venue. You’ll be bombarded with free gifts and leaflets, so a sturdy bag is a must.
You need to register in advance for any of the university exhibitions you wish to attend via the following links:
Don’t forget to bring your ticket on the day, as you can scan it to receive extra information from your favourite universities.
Decide which universities you’d really like to talk to and draw up a list of questions in advance. Your questions shouldn’t just be academic – it’s just as important to find out about things like facilities and nightlife.
Download the prospectuses of the universities you particularly like the look of before you go, or request a copy in the post. Doing this saves you the burden of carrying a heavy bag home.
Don’t just gather leaflets – talk to people on the stands. It’s what they’re there for and it will make your decision-making process much easier.
