Many campuses across the state host college fairs to provide students with information that can help them make a decision about where to attend college. College reps from two- and four-year colleges and universities visit with prospective students about admissions, scholarships, financial aid, housing, and areas of academic interest.

College fairs are either in a browsing or presentation format. Browsing allows students to visit with as many representatives as they wish during the program, while a program with closed sessions usually allows a student to visit with two or three representatives by attending group presentations in separate rooms.

Students and parents are encouraged to attend events in their areas to obtain information about as many colleges as possible.

Ask your high school counselor about fairs in your area.
