University of Cumbria 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.

Haven't really utilised it

Uni life is decent, I enjoy the independence, drinking and nightlife is overrated and gets old quick. However you get to explore opportunities that you may never have had the chance to look at and don't get normally, who knows where it may take you?

Currently getting funded as it's an apprenticeship, so luckily not too impactful on my finances, although better courses exist

Unfortunately my course has been so easy that I work at a distinction level without any support. I'm not particularly smart but this course is taking the Mick.

I haven't used much of the campus facilities.

Legitimately a terrible course. Not really a subject, more of a skill that used to be just an expectation I'm addition to ones actual qualifications. I'm not particularly intelligent but this course is easier than A-Levels. Currently planning on dropping out come September.
