How do I make the most of virtual college fairs?

Hi guys! I'm a junior, and I've been attending virtual college fairs to learn more about different schools. How can I make the most of these events and get the information I need? What should I ask and who should I talk to? If Collegevine has any advice on this, that would be great! Thanks!

Hey there! Virtual college fairs can be a great way to learn about different schools, so it's awesome that you're attending them. To make the most of these events, I suggest you do some research before the fair to see which schools you're interested in. Make a list of questions you'd like to ask, focusing on things that are important to you such as programs, campus culture, financial aid, and student resources. During the fair, try to attend presentations and Q&A sessions held by the schools you're interested in. Don't be shy to ask your questions or connect with admissions representatives, current students, or alumni. Take notes during the sessions to help you remember the information later. After the fair, follow up with any contacts you've made and explore their school websites for more information. My child found this approach helpful when they were searching for colleges. Best of luck with your college search!
