Spring college visits at EHS
At the meeting you can show your interest by asking questions, so consider preparing a few in advance. Try to make them questions that you can't find the answer to on their website. You can also make a good impression by reading up on the school in advance and mentioning the things you saw on their website that would be a great match for you.
