What I look for at University Open Days

This time of year is the time for university open days if you're around sixth form age in the UK. Yesterday I went to Leeds, and to Exeter last week, so now I've had a little bit of experience of them and am starting to get an idea of what I'm looking for when I go to the next ones.

Universities are Confusing!

Recently my sixth form attended a UCAS event to find out all about what universities and other opportunities are out there for us after we finish compulsory education. For me personally, it was basically an exercise of picking up prospectuses so you don't have to sign up for emails from the universities. If you didn't know already, I want to study Geography at university in two academic years time, preferably to do with climate change and with a year abroad so that I can keep my Spanish up. The trouble is, most universities do Geography, and all the degrees are very similar.
