Hello! Welcome to ... Welcome to a special edition of student support Sunday's on a
Wednesday Why a Wednesday?! Well, 'WhatUni'
who sent me this. Lovely cup, nothing in it
tweeted this about if you are going to University this year, to check out one of
the open days. they can help you find one, plan it, make sure you ask all the right
questions but myself and Whatuni also talked about making sure you make
the most of open days when you go. So, this videos all about giving you five of
the best tips of making the most of your open days and the first one is GO!
Please Go It baffles me why so many students don't
go I mean you're probably planning to go but sometimes it's a case of "I don't
know if I want to go to that university yet" (or) "I don't know if I want to go to
university at all!" This is why you go! This is why you go, the university
open day is designed for you to go have a look; is this University for you? Is the
course for you? Is University at all for you? This is why you go! it gets you from
the laptop, from the perspective (or whether it's called) in the
flesh! This is why you go, I mean it is free and gives you chance to sink your teeth into the world of higher education
The second one seems obvious but ask questions! Get involved!
When I went on some open days or even when I was helping the
university as a as a volunteer, there were a lot of students who come in to have
a look at the university but just sat in the back (you know) just sitting there, just smiling and
nodding and just being quite passive, just going with it. (But) if you want to
make the most of an open day, get involved! Put your hand up and ask a
question, have a walk around, try and speak to students or tutors whenever you
can to get involved. Now, I'll be honest, some of the students who were at the back
not doing anything, did tend to have a parent either side to them; asking
the questions for them - I'm gonna get into that shortly but I'm also going to
do a video separately about three questions that students are just not asking and
they really need to ask! The video will be here somewhere, might be there
wherever I put it. I've not done it yet and now we're gonna go into number three!
Which, as I foreshadowed; Ditch The Parents! Picking a university is one of
the biggest choices of your life, it really is. It's also one of the first
real independent decisions you're gonna make as well and I think
it's great to start as you mean to go on and that's by making this decision
yourself. Now, to be fair there's nothing actually wrong with taking your parents
with you. Any parent just wants the best for their child but I've seen it before
as I said before, a (student) at the back just sitting here, the parents are there
asking questions you know, just really interrupting, even challenging them
asking "why should my daughter go to this university" "are you going to get her
a job at the end?" "9,000 pounds that's a lot of money, Cheryl!" it's a fair
point to be fair, it's a good question but it's for you to make that decision :)
you're bout to take a big step into adult life and I just think it's best
that you make this one by yourself but I'll leave to you to decide.
The forth one is all about the facilities. Now, universities are not all lecture halls and
classrooms. Every University has a lot to offer, many of them compete in what they
have to offer! Take the time to check out the university accommodation, especially
if that's quite a sticking point for you. Check out the gym, the sports area,
specificity the sports facilities. Check out the media area, a lot of
people don't check that out. Just because you're not doing media studies or film
studies doesn't mean you can't make use of what they have to offer. The University
probably has a Film Society which means you can still go in and use the cool
computers, the cool cameras, a lot of universities have kitted out with the
latest Apple design software. There really is a lot out there for you to
sink your teeth in and have a look so take that time look around University
and just think "oh I never knew this was here" and number five would actually be
outside the University. Which seems kind of counterproductive to this video but
if you are wanting to moving away from University, if you're like me if you're going from
Liverpool to Leeds, Leeds is a very exciting City and if you was to an
open day at one of the universities there, I would also encourage you to get
around the city center see what else is out there! Whether it's just the nightlife
or if you're boring like me ad want to see some of the museums but see what
else they have to offer. it's well worth doing and there's my five simple tips
for making the most out of your open day and I can't stress the first one the most
make sure you go! You can never come out of an open date any worse for the
experience. If you need any tips on how to find one, how to plan it, what should
you do? What to ask? Whatuni? has a fantastic source on this, I'll link it
below. This video is brought to you by Whatuni? and myself and it's been a
very fun video to make. If you like the video
