Getting to a university or college Open Day

Check out public transport, it may be the easiest way to get there but remember the campus may be some way out of town. London campuses are far better reached by public transport and you avoid the Congestion Charge.

If you intend to drive check the university or college website for directions and parking. You may be able to use a parking permit for the day. Some universities recommend using a park and ride , especially if the campus is in a city centre (e.g. University of Plymouth) and special buses may be provided on the day to take you to the campus.

Some campuses operate 'Pay and Display' parking, you may need £5 or so in change for a day's parking and don't forget to obtain and display the ticket. Get there a bit early so that you can find a parking space. Campuses are busy places anyway, so Open Days compound the problem, unless parking is provided for the day.
