The selection of a university is one of the big decisions young adults make in their life. There are many options available to help make this decision. One of the best ways to determine whether the university is the right fit for you is to visit its open doors event. It is more than an exploration of a campus. An open house provides students with valuable insights into program options, university life, and the overall campus experience. 

Here are the six reasons why you should attend open doors event:

Learn about academic programs

If you still figuring out with the field of study you’re going to choose or need more information on programs, an open house is a great place to start. Speaking with professors or students from various programs will give you an idea of your future choice. They may even inspire you to apply to a program or major that’s right for you.

Find out about financial aid and student services

Find out more about financial aid or scholarship applications by visiting some of the information tables at the open house. AUCA is committed to providing financial assistance to talented and hard-working students who demonstrate excellent academic performance and financial need. Approximately 70% of undergraduates, about 830 students, benefit from merit- and need-based financial aid programs. 

Explore the facilities and experience the university vibe

Once you enter the university, you will spend a few years there. Make sure the environment and facilities make you feel cozy. Take some time to check out the cafeteria, library, and even search for a comfortable study place. So, imagine yourself being a student already. Feel a truly unique spirit of AUCA, which significantly differs from the other Central Asian universities. This is one of the main reasons why high school graduates choose AUCA annually.

The open house is a good chance to explore the student’s clubs and any other extracurricular activities at university. Active participation in university life and social engagement contribution stimulate success in a future career. AUCA has more than 40 student clubs aimed to increase the development of individuals and social well being. You can join a society to meet like-minded friends, or add to your resume by volunteering, and be involved in the development of a country.

Attending a university's open house provides you with an opportunity to meet and learn from current students and alumni. AUCA graduates work at world-renowned companies and organizations such as Google, Microsoft, HSBC, Bloomberg, United Nations, Unicef, The World Bank, OSCE, and more. Inspiring, right? You’ll be able to ask questions about their experiences, which will give you an idea of the opportunities and experiences that are available on campus and outside.
