Plan To Attend a College Fair This Year.

College fairs provide the opportunity to “shop” for colleges.  At college fairs, numerous colleges and universities (and military academies) have side-by-side tables covered with brochures and pamphlets.  Tables are staffed by admissions representatives ready to answer all of your questions.  Hundreds, maybe thousands, of students and parents busily talk, fill out cards, and gather information on colleges and universities at these events. 

College fairs offer an excellent opportunity to visit with admission officers and to compare schools for free.  Be sure to stop and collect information from colleges and universities on your list of preferred schools.

At college fairs, collect information on:
-  Admission requirements
-  College majors
-  Campus life
-  Financial aid
-  College characteristics

Make the most of college fairs by planning your strategy before you arrive.
