But why should students attend a college-university fair? What are the cons? Let’s break it down:

Pros of Attending a University Fair

• Global Exposure:

  Meet representatives from college-universities across continents—Europe, North America, Asia, and beyond.

• Personalised Advice:

  Ask direct questions about courses, campus life, scholarships, and admissions. Our students impressed us with thoughtful queries like:“How does the international student experience compare to that of domestic students?”

• Discover New Options

  Learn about colleges-universities and programs you may not have considered before.

• Compare Institutions Side-by-Side:

  Get a feel for different academic cultures, entry requirements, and student support systems.

• Build Confidence:

  Practice networking and communication skills in a professional setting.

• Stay Local, Think Global:

  Explore international opportunities from the comfort of your local town (or even at home online).

Cons to Keep in Mind

• Information Overload:

  With so many universities present, it can be overwhelming. Tip: Come prepared with a shortlist and questions.

• Limited Time:

  You may not get to speak to every university you're interested in. Prioritise wisely.

• Not All Answers Are Final:

  Some reps may not have detailed info on specific courses or scholarships, follow up via email or university websites.
