Generally, student may not start receiving letters until the end of January. Be sure to attend the college fair at Prairie State on Tuesday, October 9. It is helpful if you know the colleges you would like to visit at the fair. Bring the college fair brochure with you, it gives the locations of the colleges. Have questions to ask the representatives.
Sample questions are on the back of the brochure.
Continue to visit with the college representatives. Sign up in the college room and obtain your pass two days in advance. Try to have at least one question to ask the college representative when you visit. It is perfectly acceptable to ask about dorm life and social life on the college campus. Talk with your parents to plan visits to college campuses this year.
