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?!

Coming up this week…

Monday, April 28th, 2008

To help you through the college application and college admissions process, here are some of the blogs that I am working on and will be posting this week:

The Common App Revised: This one is about how the common application doesn’t want you to be common. Therefore, the app has made some changes so that you can hand in different versions to different colleges - without having to create an entirely alternate version. This is pretty cool. The common app uses sophisticated technology so that you can be lazy… okay, or more efficient!

The National Survey of Student Engagement (the NSSE): This post checks out NSSE, an organization that seeks to gauge the quality of an undergraduate education by looking at how actively-involved students are with their studies, professors and the campus community. This year, for the first time, NSSE is encouraging participating schools to make their scores publicly available. We thought you’d be interested.

College Fairs: Before summer vacation gets underway, college fairs are in full swing. They give you an opportunity to ask some questions to different schools that you might be interested in. The CampusCompare Team went to the NACAC College Fair in Providence, Rhode Island. Find out what happened…

And more. So keep checking in this week to read about the trends in college admissions and college applications!
