My son and I attended an Eight of the Best in 2006. Overall, it was pretty good as a representative from each school spoke. I recall each school had a booth with additional people who could answer questions. The feeling we got from each school at the event turned out to be accurate when we visited 6 of the 8 colleges. Also, we did pick up some valuable information.

I remember one girl telling the rep from one of the colleges that their school would be a perfect fit for her. Without missing a beat, the rep immediately asked why the school would be a perfect fit. The poor girl didn’t know what hit her. She stammered and said something about the college being small and small classes but she couldn’t mention one specific or unique thing about the particular college. A little preparation never hurts.
