Navigating the College Fair

This article is about going college fair. College fair is a place where different colleges come and answer questions and give information about that college. The people who answer questions and give information about a specific college are college representatives. College fairs can be held anywhere. Some places it could be at are school gyms, conference rooms, convention centers, etc. There could be hundreds if colleges at a college fair. When you go to college fairs, people suggest you should visit the schools that you are interested in first. In this article they say that students are not afraid of asking questions when they are with their parents, but the students should ask the question and not relying on their parents to ask for them. When you talk to any colleges at a college fair you should make that time as if it is an interview, and ask questions. “The best questions are the one’s tailored specifically to your needs”, that is what the article says. When you go booth to booth you should be aware that you might fill out contact cards. Contact cards are cards that you fill out, so the college could send you more information about a specific programs, scholarships, etc. some college fairs you don’t have to fill out contact cards, you put your information in a computer and it prints out a barcode and the booths scans the barcode and they already have it. This makes it easier instead of filling out contact cards. When you are finish with the college fair you should more information about the colleges you want to go to. That is what the article was mostly talking about.
