Bay Area College Fair Calendar

College Fairs Scheduled for the Bay Area May – July
 

 

Why Should Students (and Parents) Attend College Fairs?
Read an exert from my Silicon Valley Mom post “College Fairs in the San Francisco AreaCollege Fairs are a great way to connect with a large number of colleges in the least amount of time. Our favorite result of attending college fairs is that we (my son and I) felt that colleges were chasing us as opposed to the other way around. 
 
Another advantage of registering at a college fair is that your child’s information (should you choose this option) is shared with colleges throughout the US so colleges that are looking for students that fit your child’s profile will get your information and can then contact you/them. In this way, your child can learn about schools that they may not have initially considered. So your child should register for the fairs even if they cannot attend. Click here to view the entire post
