Details of Surrey open day 30th June ?Hello
When I booked onto the open day I had a confirmation email saying that a few weeks prior to the open day an itinerary would be published on the University of Surrey website however today, (2 weeks before open day) nothing has been posted? Does anyone know the plan for the day?
Many thanks. -

Re: Details of Surrey open day 30th June ?Don't worry wait for Monday it's only the 15th, if nothing arrives give them a ring, may have misplaced one, can send you another by email or post etc(Original post by hv03vfx)

Re: Details of Surrey open day 30th June ?The welcome talk was a bit poorly organised and overran by quite a bit but other than that, provided I get the grades Surrey, is a definite firm(Original post by orionmoo)

They had to put on an extra welcome talk because the third one was oversubscribed and there wasn't enough seats.

Re: Details of Surrey open day 30th June ?It's incredibly hard to predict numbers for open days, because a lot of people don't register, and just turn up on the day. It's not too much of an issue, but it means that numbers can be anywhere from as expected, to 200% of what you were expecting. Very difficult to plan for.(Original post by Blob2491)

Exactly this. All you can do is put more talks on if necessary(Original post by orionmoo)

Has a common first year doesn't it? I think its a brand new course starting this year or maybe 2013 actually. Sure there was only biomed before..(Original post by Blob2491)

Re: Details of Surrey open day 30th June ?Yeah, that's right. Looking at the modules, it seems to be a mixture of everything + you have the ability to chose most other modules(Original post by orionmoo)
