Virtual College Fair

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Virtual college fairs and other online resources are nearly making it possible for cross-country campus visits to be a thing of the past, as students are increasingly granted exposure to campus life through the internet. Virtual venues allow students to live chat with real admissions officers, watch video tours of campus, download brochures, andcollege fair read reviews from current students. While college is certainly a critical decision and you should probably visit your campus once before deciding to attend, you can get a sense of your chances of getting in, the school atmosphere, and how much it will cost you, without even leaving the comfort of your computer.  CampusCompare is happy to participate in our first virtual college fair on Thursday and Friday of this week. Be sure to register to attend the free EducationXpo , one of the leading virtual college fairs. The fair is a great tool for connecting students to educators and institutions that interest them, and is brought to you by FastWeb and Monster.com. No downloads required. No travel. Absolutely free. How’s that sound?!

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Maybe you’ve always wanted to be a celebrity assistant. You’ve had a knack for writing? Or you were made for marketing or awed by advertising? Love business and working with people? Well perhaps the Public Relations field is the right field for you when pursuing a college major. college search

Although PR is actually fairly new as far as being an established, academic field, there’s a plethora and variety of opportunity in the PR world. Use CampusCompare’s college major search to look up schools with good public relations programs. Personally, I’d suggest checking out the USC page! For another Public relations resource, check out the PRChannel blog, and pay close attention to their “Advice For The PR Grad” weeklong special this week. They have tons of valuable advice for a young budding PR professional like yourself!
