Drive times are estimates: Calculated from straight-line distance, with no allowance for traffic, roadworks, parking or finding the admissions office. Treat them as a rough shape, not a schedule, and leave yourself margin — especially before the first tour.
Confirm each tour with the college: Times move, tours fill and dates get cancelled, sometimes at short notice. We read these from each college's own booking system, but only they know what is running on the day. Book through the links above and check before you set off.

Real bookable times. Every slot comes from the college's own booking system and is re-checked whenever this page loads.
The driving is worked out. Departure, the gap between campuses and the drive home are timed from your ZIP, not from a city centre.
You pick the day. One is free to open; the rest come with a subscription.

You still book with each college — we do not sit between you and them, and availability can change after we check.
