Attend a College Fair
College fairs are a great way for students - and their parents and guardians - to explore colleges and universities that might be a good fit for the students’ academic, social, spiritual, and financial needs. At the fair, meet admission representatives who are available to answer questions and provide literature about specific academic and campus life programs.
*Ask your college counselors about local college fairs for the upcoming year.
Step 1: Research college fairs in the geographical region in which you'd like to go to college.
Step 2: Find virtual or in person college fairs.
Step 3: Check website and dates for College Fairs, sign up, and attend!
