Initial university visits

Many universities provide maps for campus self-tours, or provide informal campus tours (usually on a Wednesday or during a holiday period), ahead of formal open days. Contact the college or university Admissions Department or Schools Liaison Department. Don't wait for the formal round of Open Day invitations to get a taste of a campus. Try it out on a normal weekday.

Some universities provide virtual tours (e.g. Uni of Exeter) on their websites and possibly even a campus webcam (e.g. Uni of Warwick).

Formal Open Days are limited and your choices may clash so don't wait until your final school year. Most Open Days are booked through the university or college website, look for the link under 'new students', or 'undergraduate students' or an Open Day Flag link.
