Well it is almost that time again! The time when college are out trying to recruit students to their schools. These schools will be trying to show you what they are about so you can decide which postsecondary option is the right choice for you.
These fairs can be intimating and overwhelming because they are usually held in large convention centers -- where you walk down hugh coridors and enter into large rooms that have very high ceilings. Facing you will be 100s of schools being represented there to answer any questions you might have.
Looking at a FISKE book ahead of time will give you an idea about the colleges. This is an event that is available to anyone and where admission is FREE.
The students who should attend are grades 9-12, but for students in 7-8 grade, it is a great introduction to what is to come.
