What was ucl open day like

Hi, I have booked a ucl open day and was wondering for those who have already been, what was the experience like. When i booked for other unis, they let me book certain things i wanted to do, like lectures and tours and accommodation viewing, but for ucl it just lets me book the day?
A review on what it is like by someone who has already gone would be great, even better if you were looking at ucl for PPE.

Thank youuuuu!

i went for medicine but it was basc just talks and campus tours and things like that. i don’t remember whether i had to book talks or not last year, but they should release a timetable of all the talks happening soon ish if they haven’t already.

yes definitely! every uni i wanted to apply to looked nice on paper, but when i went for the open days it made me decide whether i actually wanted to apply there or not. like with imperial, i was just completely put off by the vibe for some reason when i went there, whilst on the other hand i loved ucl. i was originally going to apply to imperial but going to the open days changed my mind and i applied to ucl instead (and got rejected post interview 💔). so yeah if you are able to head over to london i would really recommend going.
