Thursday, October 24, the Freehold Regional High School district will host its annual college fair. I thought I would list some questions that students should ask the representatives of the schools:
- What specific qualities are you looking for in applicants?
- What students are happiest and most productive on your campus?
- Are interviews required or offered, and if so, how should they be arranged?
- What is the outlook for financial aid or scholarships, particularly in these economic times?
- How do professors like to interact with students? Are classes mostly lectures or discussions?
- Do students work with professors on research?
- What are the most popular clubs and activities on campus?
- Do students stay on campus over the weekends and what do they do?
- Where do most graduates go after getting their degree – to careers or graduate school or other?
