Is attending my school’s upcoming college fair worthwhile? I attended the first fair this year, which was decent, but since then, I’ve become clearer about the types of colleges I’m interested in and have a few specific ones in mind.

It’s great that you’ve become more decisive about your college choices since the first fair! Attending the second college fair could still be beneficial, even if many of the same colleges are present. Here are a few reasons to consider going:
Networking Opportunities: You might get a chance to talk to different representatives from the same colleges. Sometimes a new conversation can lead to valuable insights or connections.
Refining Your Questions: Since you have a better idea now of what you want, you can prepare more specific questions that reflect your interests. This can help you gather more useful information.
Learning About New Programs: Some colleges may present new programs or initiatives that you weren’t aware of during the first fair. This could help you discover options you may want to explore.
Practice for Future Events: Attending the fair can help you get more comfortable approaching representatives and talking about your interests. This can be especially useful when you attend fairs next year as a junior.
Comparative Insights: Seeing the same colleges again can help you reaffirm your choices or consider alternatives as you gather more information.
If you’re feeling unsure, you might also consider checking in with your school’s guidance counselor; they can provide tailored advice based on your situation. Overall, if you have the time and interest, it could be worth it!
