    <\/span>The 22nd annual college fair hosted by Jamesville-DeWitt High School, Fayetteville Manlius High School, and East Syracuse Minoa High School had over 90 college universities attend. The location rotates yearly between each school and this year was J-DHS\u2019s turn to host the fair. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>With the excellent reputation of the host schools, many prestigious colleges attended the college fair, according to J-DHS counselor Denise Becher. Colleges such as Syracuse University, Notre Dame, and Hobart-William Smith had representatives attend, as well as many local state schools, so there were schools for all levels of students. \u201cI got to visit a lot of colleges without leaving the comfort of our gymnasium.\u201d said senior Paddy Hagan<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The college fair allows students to get a better idea of different kinds of colleges and their requirements. Ms. Becher said for seniors it\u2019s a good opportunity to see what other schools they\u2019d like to apply to, and to talk to the college representatives that might be reading their applications. For juniors it\u2019s a good start for them to think about the college process and how to talk to a college representative and get information. \u201cApplying for college is a huge process that takes a lot of research on the student\u2019s part,\u201d said Ms. Becher.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The students at J-DHS find the college fair very helpful in deciding which schools they\u2019d like to look more into for their future. \u201cI\u2019m going to the college fair because the college process kind of stresses me out,\u201d said junior Kelsey Kissane. Other students are more excited about the college fair. \u201cIt\u2019s never too early to start thinking about college,\u201d said junior Matt O\u2019Connor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many students\u2019 opinions of the schools were affected by the representatives of those schools. \u201cSome were talkative and some were quiet, but my favorite colleges had really outgoing representatives,\u201d said sophomore Bennett Chirco. \u201cThe representatives were very friendly and you could tell they wanted to be there and were willing to help with the college process,\u201d said Hagan<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The college fair tradition helps the local students make a big decision that will effect the rest of their lives. As Chirco said \u201cI\u2019ve just scratched the surface with the college process, but it helped me to see it early on in high school.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
