A National College Fair presents a wonderful opportunity to learn about many schools at once. Here are a few tips for getting the most out of attending:
- Before the fair, check out the list of schools that will be participating. Decide which booths you want to be sure to visit.
- Print out adhesive labels with your name, contact information, and graduation year to stick on information cards and mailing lists at the fair.
- Bring your questions, plus a pen and small notebook to jot down the answers you obtain.
- At the fair, when you visit a school of interest, be sure to put yourself on the mailing list. Introduce yourself to the college rep at the booth, ask questions, and politely request a business card.
- Save some time at the end to browse other booths. You may discover a wonderful school you had not previously considered!
- Look for RED CURTAINS to find the COUNSELING CENTER. Here, you'll find local high school counselors who can talk with you about the college search process and make suggestions about which schools to visit, based on your interests and intended major.
- Look for YELLOW CURTAINS to find the RESOURCE CENTER. Here, you'll find financial aid representatives who can talk with you about scholarships and financial aid.
