What questions should I ask at a college fair?
It's important to approach a college fair with a set of questions that you would like to know about that particular institution. I would say that the most important things to know are: what sorts of majors are available? What is the ratio of students to faculty at the institution, as well as in the particular classes? What are the offerings as far as extracurricular activities, sports teams, clubs and organizations? And I would also ask where do graduates of the school go? When they graduate, what kinds of jobs do they pursue? How successful are they in those fields? And then I would ask when and how could I make an in-person visit to the school, and any other information they might be able to provide both in the packet that they provide on site, as well as any website information. And speaking of websites, it's a good idea to review the websites if you know the schools that are coming beforehand, so that when you approach them you can also ask very specific questions related to your own research that you found out about the school online.
