Graduate Open House

[xisan92]

Hi,

I recently got accepted into Ph.D. program at the University of Rhode Island and received an invitation for the graduate open house. The event will be for 2 days. It's important because funding decisions will be made after the visit. Can anyone give some idea about what one can expect in such events and is there anything important I need to focus on?

Thanks in advance.

Typically they will provide you with a schedule of events closer to the open house but things that have been shared across visits: networking time with graduate students, networking time with professors, more info on the program, tours. This is not only a chance for the department to get to know you better but for you to get to know the program better so ask questions that will help you make a decision / you want answers to.
