University Fairs and Tours

Scary season may be done, but for Seniors it’s just begun! University open houses, application deadlines, scholarship deadlines, and fairs are in full bloom. If you did not get a chance to attend the university fair, there are many open houses and resources from the schools of your choice you can explore. If you want to receive useful information about Ontario universities, use the OUI Connect Form to connect via email. Additionally, it is a good idea to make an account with each university you are planning to apply to through their website. This allows you to receive information about open houses, deadlines, programs, scholarships, and much more.

Open House season is happening right across Ontario and much of Canada. Many universities and colleges are posting their open house schedules and it’s highly recommended you start to check it out. If you don’t, you’ll be missing out on networking opportunities, campus locations, and talking to others who have answers to your questions. Note that some require booking prior to the date, so check the university’s website for additional information! Some upcoming open houses are:

Each school is known for something; just like you and me, they have their strengths. It is a good practice to research each one thoroughly to see if it’s your best fit.  It is also a good idea to research the competitiveness of each university or college’s programs. Apply to a balance of competitive and non-competitive programs- be realistic to see if you fit the expectations of someone who will get in and apply to at least 2 safeties!
