Before your visit
As the event approaches, think about the key questions you want to ask. There will be plenty of students and staff available to answer them.
Be sure to wear comfortable clothes as there will be lots of moving around. Also, Make sure to pack an umbrella and sun cream., You can never be sure which one you will need with the English weather.
We recommend bringing a water bottle. There are several water fountains located around campus where you can fill up throughout the day.
Lastly, don’t forget to eat! With so much going on, it’s easy to forget to take a moment to rest and reflect on everything you have learned so far. There are plenty of cafes, outlets and quite spaces on campus for you to pick from.
