Open Days and Visits
Open Days 2012 St John’s College
One of the best ways to get a feel of College life is come and visit us on one of our Open Days. So please make a note of the following dates for 2012.
- Wednesday 27 June FULLY BOOKED for lunch
- Thursday 28 June Places for lunch now available due to cancellations
- Friday 14 September
During the Open Days you will have an opportunity to meet the Tutor for Admissions as well as a wide range of subject tutors. You can also talk to current students, have lunch in Hall, and see for yourself what life is like at St John's.
We welcome drop-in visitors throughout the day. However, if you would like to stay overnight or have lunch in Hall you must download and complete the relevant Booking Form for either Individual Visitors or School/College groups. Please note that this form books you in for lunch and/or overnight accommodation here at St John’s. Other colleges have their own booking arrangements and any on-line forms filled in from the central University site do not book you in for college-based events. If you would like to drop in to visit us on a casual basis for a tour, a chat or just a wander round you are most welcome to do so without booking.
Our programme is still under review so please check back nearer the time to confirm the final times.
