Should I prepare in a specific way to make the most of an education fair or webinar while I shortlist universities abroad?
To make the most of an education fair or webinar, research the attending schools and programs beforehand, ask questions about admission requirements, scholarships and programs, and organize everything you collect afterward. These steps help you compare options and make a better decision about your education and career.
Some students hesitate to attend an education fair or webinar because they do not know what to expect. A little preparation can help you get far more out of the event.
Three Habits That Help
| Habit | What to do |
|---|---|
| Do your research | Learn about the schools and programs attending to narrow choices and use your time well |
| Ask questions | Ask representatives about admission requirements, scholarships and programs of interest |
| Get organized | Collect and sort information afterward so you can compare options |
Why These Events Are Useful
- You can get answers from representatives of different schools in one place.
- You can check whether a program fits you.
- You can meet new people and learn about more options.
My Advice
Write down three or four questions per school before the event and keep a simple comparison sheet. Verify any key figures you hear against the official university page before you decide.
