November 6, 2000: Online College Fair
Been to a college fair at or near your high school?
Online College Fair is surprisingly similar
but can be experienced with all the comforts of home.
The site brings the college search experience to
the college-bound student. The site describes
itself this way: "It is an interactive, online
event that allows you and your parents to chat live
with school representatives, view campuses, and
learn about school offerings through a
virtual Q&A session.
During an Online College Fair,
you'll move from college to college in the Exhibit Hall
to ask questions and get information from the participating
colleges. You can search for schools that match your
specific interests. Your ability to move through the
Exhibit Hall, stop at booths, and chat with school reps
makes the Online College Fair experience virtually the
same as being there."
Online College Fair also offers Online OpenHouses, which
the site describes as "similar to an Online College Fair,
except the event is sponsored by one specific school.
That means you can get more detailed information about a
school or its programs that may be of particular interest to
you."
