Hi
Is anyone else planning on taking their DC to visit the cities the Universities are based in that they plan to list, unofficially? Obviously we still don’t know if any official open days will take place but it doesn’t look likely. Really upsetting as I’ve been looking forward to taking my DS to the open days for years now. But I still think it’s important for him to see the city and we might be able to see some of the Uni’s, at least from outside. We are going to see Oxford & Cambridge initially as he will need to make a decision between them earlier and then Warwick, Imperial (that’s commutable to us). He also is thinking of St Andrews but that’s an 8.5hr drive without even factoring in millions of toilet breaks etc. We might have to just research that one. Might suit him as he’s not really interested in the night life as he doesn’t drink, but that could change. He’s still the baby of the year so not even 17 until the weekend.
Any tips, eg any parts of any of those Universities the public can just access? I guess seeing any halls etc will be out of the question but I suppose we could have a look how far away they are etc.
