COLLEGE FAIRS, THEY WILL START IN JULY!

As students are winding down from a LONG school year, they need to start thinking about the college fairs that will be coming to their town starting as early as July.

Take time to relax for the first week or two, enjoy your family and friends, and then start to look at when the fairs will be arriving in your town so you can mark your calendars.

Every year, more than 500,000 students attend The National College Fairs. Some students who are in 7th and 8th grade come to take a sneek preview, but 7th and 8th grade is a little early to start the actual college prep. However, starting to think about college is not a bad idea. Students who attend these fairs will be seeking information about colleges, universities and other post-secondary institutions.

These events are "free" and open to the public. There are the "Schools that Change Lifes", "National College Fair" and "Performing and Visual Arts College" Fair. Each of these 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.

The fairs span across the US from coast to coast and visit every major metropolitan area nationwide.

Most college fairs will be in the fall---- and counselors as well as consultants will advise you when to attend, however, the Colleges that Change Lives program is usually run over the summmer, and so you need to check out on your own when they will be in town.

"The Colleges That Change Lives" will be start their tour in July and will include an Asian Tour. Thix program starts every event promptly at 7:00 p.m. The program includes a 30-minute information session, and the college fair begins immediately afterwards, lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Students who have learning disabilities may enjoy attending this fair.
