HUNTINGTON – Forty four juniors from Gateway Regional High School attended the National College Fair field trip in late March. Approximately 200 two and four year colleges (public and private) and branches of military service were represented at the fair.
Before the fair, all of the juniors took part in a junior seminar lesson, where they learned about the various post-secondary options and used CollegeBoard.org to search for colleges that met their interests. Each student then created a list of preferred colleges based upon their interests and what they were looking for in a school. This prepared them to seek out particular colleges and post-secondary schools at the fair.
Participating colleges were from all over the country and included a few international schools. Among those taking part were: Adelphi University, Anna Maria College, Brandeis University, Champlain College, Colby-Sawyer College, Elms College, Fairfield University, Hofstra University, Marist College, Marquette University, Penn State University, Providence College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Salve Regina University, Seton Hall University, Simmons College, Temple University, Villanova University and numerous state colleges and universities from throughout the United States.
