A combined University Roadshow will visit about 800 students in 33 central west high schools next week.

Charles Sturt University (CSU) prospective student adviser Ms Fran Dwyer said advisers from three regional universities - CSU, Southern Cross University, and the University of New England - will visit about 5 000 Year 12 students during the five-week roadshow to provide information on higher education.

"Starting on Tuesday 10 March, we will provide information directly to about 800 local students from 33 high schools in Bathurst, Orange, Mudgee, Dubbo and surrounding schools," Ms Dwyer said.

"By combining the resources of the three universities, we can provide excellent, accurate advice to students in one visit. The Roadshow format also means we can present a broad range of study options to students while minimising the time students are away from classes and study.

"The Roadshow enables local students to learn about what our regional universities can offer. Students gain insights into what university life is like, and the benefits of life and study at regional universities."
