More than 110 colleges and universities from across the nation will be represented at the North Bay College Fair at Sonoma State University on Monday, May 12 from 9-11:30 a.m. and 6-8 p.m. Both fairs will be held in the main gymnasium on campus.The fair is broken up into two sections in order to accommodate as many students as possible. According to coordinator Gina Geck, over 2,000 students within SSU's five-county service area will be bused to the campus for the morning session. Geck expects a thousand students and parents to attend the evening session.
Representatives from a variety of public to private and specialized schools will be on hand to answer questions and give out information on financial aid and the admission process. Schools from all across the country will be
represented.
Geck had the following suggestions for questions to ask at this year's fair:
1. Looking at my GPA and test scores, do you think I would be eligible for your university?
2. What are the three most popular majors at your college? Why are they so
popular?
3. Which departments are considered to be the strongest?
4. When is the best time to visit your campus? How do I arrange a visit?
5. How large are freshmen classes? What percentage of them are
taught by professors and what percentage by teaching assistants?
