5 reasons to attend one of our Open Days

Choosing the right school and study program is a big decision. Where you decide to study will  impact your student experience and influence your future career. That’s why it’s important to get a good sense of what the school is like and if it’s the right fit for you before you decide to come study with us.

 

Swiss Education Group facilitates Open Days – both on campus and online – to give potential students a taste of what to expect from the different schools and programs. It’s a glimpse inside daily life and a chance for students and parents to ask important questions. For many students, this experience is what solidifies their decision. Eva, a current student at Swiss Hotel Management School, shares:

 

After attending the Open Day, I told my mom that I did not want to visit any more universities. I had made my choice because of the clear presentation of the program, the facilities, and the student body, too. I had a chance to talk with the academic dean and some of the staff during my visit and had a personal tour. This formed an unforgettable experience and contributed to my decision.

Ann from Sweden had this to say about her visit:

Here’s what current student, Roxane, from France had to say about her Open Day: 

 

Visiting the schools allowed me to see what life could be like [at Swiss Hotel Management School] and if it was the right place for me….What impressed me was how welcoming everyone was. I remember eating at Caux Palace and the students and teacher were so warm that I already felt [the school] could be a second home for me.
