How much does it cost to attend?
FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC, NACAC's college fairs allow students to
interact with admission representatives from a wide range of postsecondary
institutions to discuss course offerings, admission and financial aid
requirements, college life in general, and other information pertinent to the
college selection process.
In which grade should students attend a NACAC College Fair?
We believe the earlier the better. We encourage parents and students to
investigate the college admission process as early as middle school. One of the
best ways to do this is by attending a college fair.
What happens at a college fair?
College fairs are an exciting chance to talk to the people in the know.
Admission representatives from a variety of colleges are all gathered in one
place, just waiting to answer your questions.
But it's easy to get caught up in the
crowds and confusion. Soon you're criss-crossing the room (or many rooms),
stopping at any booth that catches your eye or seems popular. When that happens,
you end up with lots of pretty brochures, but not a lot of clear impressions
about which colleges you may be interested in.
Making the most of a college fair
means planning your strategy before you enter those double doors.
What can I do as a student or parent to prepare for attending a College Fair?
If you are planning to attend a college fair, think about the following
questions:
· Do you
want to attend a two- or four-year institution? Co-ed or single sex?
· What size school do you want to attend?
· What programs of study are you considering?
· How far from home do you want to go?
· Do you wish to participate in any specific extra-curricular activities or
athletics?
