open-campus

Lots of universities here open their campuses
on certain days for high school students. The
purpose is to encourage the high school students
to choose the university.
We say something like:
1. We will hold open-campus next week.
2. That will be their open-campus day.
Naturally, the whole sentence is in Japanese
with 'open campus' in it.
Do you use that term in English-speaking countries?

Thank you.

You actually say "open house" even for things that are not homes. A company can have an open house to welcome current and potential clients to a new location, the university can have an open house to show off for propsective attendees.

Open Campus is more often used in AmE to describe a high school that allows it students to leave during lunchtime.

My University calls its tours for high school students "Spring Insight".

Thank you very much.

This Open is an adjective as opposed to 'Closed Campus', right?

Because it's held in spring for the students intending to enter in
