Law Open Day - 8th March

I'm not sure if a thread like this has been made already (if it has then sorry). I was just wondering how many people on here are off to UCL tomorrow for the Law open day.

I really hope that I like it as it's my first choice at the moment.

I'm sure you'll like it... :smile:

I hope you will anyway. The law building is MUCH nicer on the inside than it is outside, although the colour scheme in the main lecture theatre (where I expect admissions tutor Rodney Austin will address you) leaves a lot to be desired.

You can visit whenever you want. Just explain to Andy the security guard man you're a prospective student and he'll let you wander around :smile:

I did it 3 or 4 times over last summer lol.

Uhm we had...

Introduction by Rodney Austin, some other woman (whose name escapes me) and then students from the Law Society
Question and Answer Session
'Tea' - basically refreshments and the chances to talk to lecturers and other students
A tour of the college (Union, library, etc.)
Sample lecture

I thought it was really good actually. Far better than the KCL one that I went to last month. The college seemed really nice and everybody was really friendly.

As for length

2:15-3:00 Introduction/Q+A/Law Society talk etc.
3:00-3:30 Tea
3:30-4:30 Tour
4:30-5:00 Sample lecture

Does that satisfy your curiosity? :wink:

That is quite a long tour... thanks for that.

Also intrigued by this 'sample lecture' thing... one more question (and hopefully the last!) - how was the tour done?

I'm guessing you were given the tour by students... how many to a group? How big was each group?

There were 21 people in total (students that is, not including parents) and we split into two groups, one of 11 and one of 10. And yeah, we were given the tour by three members of the UCL Law Society.

We get around 100 people into our open days and given them what many students have called 'the best open days they've had - ever'

We continue to try and improve that experience...

What do you do for them?

That is good? I do a no-holes barred stand-up comedy performance because I'm trusted (yeah, I know... me, trusted!!) to chat to them for about 30 minutes straight.

The only other unique thing is that we take them to the bar for a really nice informal chat with each other and us. Drinks bought by us (subject to being 18 and with ID, maybe)
