College Prep

Many high schools have college fairs, so you can also go to yours and check out
local college information. But, many other college fairs are held across the
country.

You can easily find a college fair near you by visiting the National Association for
College Admission Counseling website at:

http://www.nacacnet.org/MemberPortal/Events/CollegeFairs/.

These college fairs give you an excellent opportunity to learn about many
colleges all at once. It can be very expensive to visit all of the colleges on your
list, so going to a college fair saves you lots of money on travel expenses.

You can even pick up brochures, applications and financial aid information for
your prospective colleges. Be sure to have any questions you may have ready to
ask the college representatives. Also be sure to bring a pen and pad of paper to
take notes. You’ll be speaking to lots of people and you won’t be able to
remember everything!
