Hi everyone.
So UNSW Open Day is just around the corner. Its a really good day to get you keen towards what you want to study at university.
The Open Day is on Saturday the 6th of September 2014.
From personal experience, if you take advantage of this day you will end up happier. Last year I went and took advantage of open day and it really gave me a depth of knowledge on what I wanted to do in university and where it could lead me beyond university for my future career later on.
As I have said before, Open Day last year gave me the most informed decision as to what I really wanted to do. I highly recommend high school students going to really see what they want to do. I also recommend that following around your friends with completely different interests is something that you absolutely do not want to do. The last thing you want is to end up knowing what your friends are going to do but have no clue what you are going to do.
I would recommend registering for events on the site below and planning your day ahead of time to make the most of your opportunity to really get a grip on where you want to go after high school.

From memory, I went to about 6 different engineering talks on the day and I ended up leaving UNSW with a firm impression of which stream of engineering I wanted to do. In the end that was my decision and I am glad it was as I am so happy with my choice and if it were not for Open Day, I may have ended up doing something else which would have not really been a good idea.
Also, I recommend doing thorough research before you go to Open Day to have a good idea of what you want to do and how to make the most of the day, while also allowing yourself to gain insight into where you want to end up.
As for travel, if you go in the morning at around 8 am to 11 am, there should be a few people at Central on Eddy Avenue after you cross the road who will be in yellow shirts to guide you to uni and will give out booklets for the day's plan and what talks are on, what events are on, etc. They will also let you know to catch the 891 bus from Stand D of the bus stops and you should be able to find your way to UNSW easily.
As for where buildings are, look on a UNSW map to see where the building is, and you should be able to find your way to different lecture theatres from there.
Also, post any enquiries you have regarding Open Day here and Best of Luck for your endeavours
