What happens at the Green River College transfer fair?

I've heard about transfer fairs at Green River College but never attended one. What should I expect at a transfer fair? Are there reps from universities there to answer questions about transferring?

Yes, you are correct. At a transfer fair at Green River College—or indeed at most community colleges—representatives from various universities and colleges attend to give students more information about transfer opportunities. This event is a chance for students to learn about different institutions, their transfer process, academic programs, as well as financial aid and scholarships.

You can expect to see representatives from both in-state and out-of-state institutions. These representatives are typically knowledgeable about the specific requirements for transferring into their college's programs. They may provide insight into things like prerequisites, GPA standards, application deadlines, and the availability of programs of interest.

It's also an excellent opportunity for you to ask any specific questions you may have about the transfer process. You might want to prepare questions on academic plans, campus life, housing, costs, and foundations that may offer scholarships for your particular course or institution.

Make sure to bring a notebook and pen to jot down important details, as well as something to store brochures or business cards you might collect. Some students also find it helpful to bring a copy of their unofficial transcript, in case the representative wishes to review their courses.

Therefore, it's a great way to gather a lot of valuable information in one place. Make the most of it by interacting with as many school representatives as possible.
