There are a few universities that Dd is considering, (or I think she should just have a look at) which are in fairly far flung corners of the land. It isn't practical for economic or time reasons to go to all of them on open days. However most universities do put something on their web sites about arranging visits at other times. I know there wouldn't be the talks etc, but presumably October half term there would be a few students around and you could get a more accurate feel for the place? Has anyone done this and how was it? On the list are universities of Edinburgh, St Andrews, Glasgow, York and Durham.
Actually the one university open day we did go to was quite hellish(from my point of view) but dd unexpectedly loved it, that's why I am thinking of visiting places she might not be so interested now, or ruling out ones she has set her sights on.
