Apparently, Paul Revere never actually uttered the famous words, “The British are coming!” Yet, in the spirit of that misquote, the college fairs are, indeed, coming to Denver (and probably to your city, if you live elsewhere). Fall is a popular time for college fairs, and below is information about and links to upcoming fairs in the Denver area:

College fairs are a great opportunity for students and parents to gather information about schools and demonstrate interest in them. (Demonstrated interest is a factor in the admissions process at many colleges.) However, many fairs are overwhelming, with 100-200 college representatives participating and hundreds or thousands of people in attendance. For more information about how to get the most out of a college fair, see my article in the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle.
