college fairs

University showcase gatherings

College fairs are events where representatives from multiple colleges and universities gather to meet prospective students.

High school students and their parents circulate among booths or tables, collecting brochures and asking questions about admissions, programs, and campus life.

I picked up information from a dozen schools at the college fair.
