Choosing a university involves more than comparing courses and entry requirements. Asking about student support services at an education fair can help you understand how a university supports students throughout their academic and everyday life.

Ask About Academic Support

Academic support can play an important role in helping students adjust to university-level study.

Useful questions may include whether the university offers:

•⁠  ⁠Academic advice

•⁠  ⁠Writing and research support

•⁠  ⁠Additional learning resources

•⁠  ⁠Student mentoring

•⁠  ⁠Individual academic meetings

These services can be particularly useful during the first stages of university.

Check Support for International Students

International students may need additional guidance when adjusting to a new country and university system.

At the fair, ask about:

•⁠  ⁠Support with settling in

•⁠  ⁠Practical guidance

•⁠  ⁠Dedicated international student services

•⁠  ⁠Help accessing university services

This can be especially important for students planning to study abroad.

Learn About Career Services

Career support is another important part of the student experience. Students may want to ask whether the university provides:

•⁠  ⁠CV and interview support

•⁠  ⁠Career fairs

•⁠  ⁠Employer events

•⁠  ⁠Work experience opportunities

•⁠  ⁠Graduate career support

These services can help students prepare for the transition from university to professional life.

Ask About Wellbeing Support

Personal and emotional wellbeing is also an important part of university life. Find out what wellbeing services are available and how students can access them. Knowing that support is available can make the transition into a new environment feel more manageable.

Explore Everyday Student Services

Student support is not limited to academic matters.

It may also be useful to ask about:

•⁠  ⁠Accommodation support

•⁠  ⁠Financial guidance

•⁠  ⁠Student service centres

•⁠  ⁠Practical campus support

•⁠  ⁠Services for students with additional needs

These services can make everyday university life easier to manage.

Ask Similar Questions at Different Stands

Using the same questions with several universities makes comparison easier. After the fair, students can review their notes and see which universities offer the support that best matches their needs.

This helps compare not only the course itself, but the wider student experience.

Asking about student support services at an education fair can provide a clearer picture of what studying at a university may actually be like.

Comparing academic, international, career and wellbeing support can help students make a more informed university choice.
