Can I go to an open day with my parents and my brother?

I'm going to an open day at University of Manchester for Aerospace Engineering on the 24th of February. Can I go with my mother and brother?

This is weird, I never even thought of taking my parents to any open days and never met anyone that did. Is this some sort of infantilisation of teenagers?

I don't think it's unusual, I took my dad to three open days and my mom and brother to another. There were lots of people with parents

What? Most of the people I saw at open days took a member of their family. There's nothing wrong with a parent wanting to see where their child may study.

Are you sure you're not talking about offer holder days? Cause I think it'd be weird to bring a parent to those. But taking a parent to regular open days is completely normal

Yes. I went to one open day with my parents and several on my own.

I prefer going on my own, but going with other people has it's advantages. It can give you a different perspective on things.

Wait it's for offer holdes. Sorry for not being precise. The thing is that I'm from Spain so I have to travel to Manchester and my mother and brother are coming too, so it seems weird to tell them to go somewhere else
