Follow these tips to help you make the most of your College Fair visit:

Before you attend, determine which colleges you want to visit (a list is available in the College Fair article at www.EducationQuest.org). Arrive early so you have time to visit your top colleges.

Prepare a list of questions to ask the college representatives. Ask about deadlines for admission, scholarships and financial aid.

Prepare pre-printed labels with your name and address to stick on information cards at college booths where you want additional information.
