College Fair questions

I went to a college fair at my local CC once, which was fairly small and only had in-state publics and some privates. I did have a really good conversation with my safety school, because nobody was talking to them. I’d asked her what questions she gets asked most often and as it turns out students who knew a little more about the school than I did were asking things I hadn’t thought about. I also asked which questions she wished she got asked more often. If I had been more mature about the prospect of having to attend my safety, she could have been a very valuable resource later on for any questions I might have had, she gave me her card and was really willing to be helpful. I ended up getting into my first choice so I didn’t end up pursuing anything any further.

For what it’s worth, the reps at first choice school were too busy eating and wanted nothing to do with speaking to me-- they were actually quite rude. I picked up some literature I didn’t need and left, their booth was a waste of everybody’s time. I loved my time at the school, though.
