Is it bad to not attend university post-offer open days?

I just don't have time...I've been to the normal open days though

Well, they can't take the offer from you and you've seen what they have to offer. These days are for the university to try to persuade you to firm them. It's up to you whether you want to go or not.

I am putting Exeter down as firm and insurance. As it was a 7 hour journey down there, and cost nearly £400, I won't be going to the post offer day. The open day was so fabulous, with all the lecturers present, and available after the subject talk for questions, that I completely feel that I've made the right decision.

it shouldnt cost you anything like that by booking in advance. where are you travelling from. if from Newcastle try booking an advance fare Newcastle to London then London to Exeter. alternatively flybe fly Newcastle to Exeter try national rail for rail fares or flybe for airfare. I have checked for a couple of people a couple of weeks ago and it was a fraction of this cost

It was because we had to take the sleeper from London on a Friday night as my mum works in a school. I couldn't do the summer open day as I was on a charity expedition in India at the time. I know that there are cheaper options, but unfortunately we didn't have a choice
