It’s good to think about what uni you want to go to, but what about the practical stuff? How do you get in? How do you know which course to pick? What do you do when you get there? And how much will it cost you?

The open days were great because I got to talk to current students and lecturers. I got detailed information about the courses I was interested in, such as the specific subjects you could take, how the courses were taught, what the assessment was like and what types of careers the course could lead to. Importantly, I also got ‘a feel’ for each university … In the end, my preferences were really broad and reflected the fact that I had no idea what sort of ENTER I’d get. I put down mostly humanities courses, and I had everything from the University of Melbourne to a TAFE course that guaranteed entry into second-year university on my preference form.
