Anglia Ruskin University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.

Really costly and every year Accommodation prices are going up. Not even given chance to apply to student accom after first year which means paying for more expensive private Accommodation. Don’t seem to be helping much financially
