Top tips for the best Open House experience
Welcome to Spring Open House! Whether this will be your first time visiting campus, or you already know your way around our community, Spring Open House gives you brand-new opportunities to experience what it really feels like to be a Laurier student. This is your chance to step into the shoes of a Golden Hawk and decide if Laurier is the right fit for you:
Get a Feel for the Campus Community
Imagining yourself at university is one thing - but stepping foot on campus can make it feel real. Take a campus tour led by a current student and see where you’ll live, learn and hang out to get a true sense of the campus and surrounding community. This is where the fit starts to click.
Explore Residence Options
Residence is more than just a place to sleep – it’s your first home away from home. Touring different residence styles helps you picture what living on campus could look like and what you might want to bring from home, to make the space your own.
Attend an Interactive Academic Session
Spring Open House is your chance to get the full first-year experience by participating in experiential program sessions. Join interactive sessions like lab tours, mock lectures or conversations with Academic Advising - we want you to feel confident that you know what to expect and how to engage from day one at Laurier.
Connect with Current Students
Want to find out what university is really like? Talk to current Golden Hawks. You’ll have opportunities to connect one-on-one with students from your program of interest to get all the answers to your questions about assignments, schedules, clubs, co-op and volunteer opportunities, how to get resumé-worthy experiences and how to get involved on campus.
Speak with Your Future Professors
Spring Open House also gives you an all-access pass to the people behind the programs. Meet professors, instructors, academic advisors and other Laurier support staff who are all eager to help Golden Hawks do their best.
Talk to the Laurier Experts
From getting here, to settling in, to settling up your first university bill, we know you may have a lot of practical questions about the administrative side of university life. Attend Admissions, Scholarships and Transition to University sessions to get your questions answered and be better prepared for the fall semester.
Stay Connected
After Spring Open House, keep the conversation going by exploring our social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), or chatting with other students about their Laurier experience on Reddit. It’s an easy way to stay engaged and connected as you make your decision.
Attending Spring Open House is more than a campus tour - it’s an opportunity to picture your future as a Laurier Golden Hawk. By exploring the first-year experience from the lens of current students, participating in experiential learning opportunities and connecting with both current students and faculty, you’ll feel prepared to make an informed decision about your future.
A university Open House is an experience unlike any other – hundreds of faculty, staff and current students are on campus, ready to make you feel welcomed. Laurier welcomes you (and your supporters) to Open House on March 7 in Waterloo, March 28 in Brantford, and May 2 in Milton.
