neutral  Aïda Garcia Pons: Then it should say "graduate's open house"; unless, of course, there's a mistake in the original.

  -> I agree, the article must have been written by a non-native speaker of English, I guess
disagree  Linda 969: Hi Mimoza - ospitale is an adjective and it means hospitable//thanks for yr response Mimoza - the paravia ref is the only relevant one and I'm afraid it's a good example of why we should be wary of dictionaries. Btw, the ST is perfectly natural English

  -> Linda, thanks, I do know the English meaning of "ospitale" but this is the italian term used in a secondary meaning of the word. I hope you checked the three links I added above. Thanks for your feedback.

giornate di orientamento


Explanation:
Un'altra idea. Io sento parlare anche di 'giornate di orientamento' e a volte ci aggiungono anche l'aggettivo 'universitario'.

Ciao,
Maura
