No matter if you are an upper-year high school student exploring postsecondary options or an undergraduate considering graduate study, an educational fair provides a great way to meet university representatives, learn about courses, requirements, scholarships and benefits from attending universities and explore them further. Here are some helpful tips that can help ensure you make the most of this event.
Get the most out of an education fair by asking representatives questions. Doing research about universities and programs you’re interested in before attending will allow you to arrive with specific queries in mind.
However, it is also beneficial to maintain an open mindset when meeting with university representatives. They could offer information about courses which do not fit directly with your area of interest but might meet all your requirements and goals perfectly.
Always have a pen and notebook handy as you converse with exhibitors to take notes while engaging them, helping keep yourself organized while not forgetting any essential information. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed when there are so many representatives and answers available; taking notes will allow you to organize all this new knowledge more efficiently and digest it thoroughly.
If you’re considering applying to universities abroad, visiting booths of institutions offering international courses at an ed fair is the ideal place to explore options that you might not have considered before, while speaking directly to representatives may provide clarity needed when making decisions on where and when to apply.
