College Fair: Questions to Ask

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?
Go prepared.  A list of colleges and where you may find them are available on the website: www.frhsd.com.  Students should go up to the representative, introduce themselves, and take a business card from the representative to have a place to write notes. Who knows? Students may even get a voucher to apply for FREE!
