Has anyone attended a Montgomery College transfer fair?

I'm thinking about going to a transfer fair at Montgomery College to explore my future options. Can anyone share their experience attending one? Are they informative and worth attending?

While I personally haven't attended a Montgomery College transfer fair, I've heard others' experiences and could share some insights about these types of events. Generally, transfer fairs can provide valuable information and are often worth attending, especially if you're considering transferring to a four-year institution.

At these fairs, representatives from a range of universities typically have booths where they provide detailed information about their institutions, including details about their specific programs, admission requirements, financial aid options, and campus life. They are a great opportunity to find out more about the institutions you're interested in, and possibly discover other schools you hadn't considered.

One tip from multiple students' experiences is to come prepared. Research the attending schools beforehand and jot down any questions you have in order to make the most out of the face-to-face interactions with the representatives. Even consider bringing a folder to store all the pamphlets and business cards you may gather.

Additionally, it's usually a good idea to dress professionally or at least neatly, and to bring several copies of your resume. Some college representatives might be willing to look over your resume and give advice, and it's a good way to leave a positive impression.

Lastly, don't be shy about asking questions. This is the time for you to get clarity on any confusion you might have about the transfer process, or specifics about the universities. Attend, listen, ask, and soak up as much information as possible.

Remember, the goal of these fairs is to help you make an informed decision. Good luck with your potential transfer process!
