Nearly 70 colleges and universities from across the country will be represented at the 18th annual Somerville High School College Fair on Monday, Oct.15, at the SHS Field House from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The event is open to students and parents from the Somerville community as well as surrounding communities of the Greater Boston area. Representatives from numerous colleges and universities in Massachusetts will be on hand, along with representatives from colleges in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, and California.
Monday’s event is the first time Somerville High School has offered a Fall College Fair, a scheduling adjustment made to keep up with changing trends regarding college and career readiness, and to provide students with early access to a wide range of post-secondary education options.
Students are encouraged to visit with as many representatives as possible and to be prepared with questions regarding targeted areas of study, according to a press release.
