A survey by questionnaire was carried out among first year students about their experience in the importance of information sources of colleges and universities.

The third in the rank is the participation on Open Days (42%), where they can get direct information and impression about the institution. Students are looking for the course specialisation, the length of the course, the scholarship or tuition fee among the admission information.
