Is your teenager thinking about going to uni? For some, it’s an easy decision. For others, the idea of uni can feel abstract, and they may be unsure.
Attending an Open Day is a good way to learn about campus life, in a no-pressure environment.
What is Open Day?
In general, an Open Day is a chance for students to dive in and get a feel for what it will be like to attend a university. It’s a time when your teen can freely wander around the campus to find out what’s on offer, see the classrooms, and check out the things that help shape student life, like the library, cafes, common areas and even the tav. It’s also an opportunity to meet current students and find out more about different study programs and extracurricular activities.
Why go to Murdoch Open Day?
