Today marked the beginning of the fall travel season ... a 3 (or sometimes 4) month period where colleges from around the country will travel to high schools around the country to help educate prospective students about what they have to offer. It is always good to get that first day of traveling under your belt. You get updated by your friends as to who has left or changed schools ... who got promoted and so on. Today I actually ran into a travel friend from TWO YEARS ago!
One word of advice I would like to give to any student who is talking to any counselor at a college fair is this; Nothing the counselor at the table tells you means a thing until you actually go to the campus and visit. Take a tour, go to an Open House, take advantage of the various campus visit opportunities that the university has to offer to you. All of these visits are intended to make sure that the university is the right "fit" for you. If the school doesn't feel right, it won't be right when you go there for your education.
