Applying to college? These virtual events offer information, save you money
Private colleges and universities across the state are holding virtual college fairs.
Posted — UpdatedThirty-six schools are available to view through the virtual fair. Some schools will offer a virtual "walk-and-talk" tour of campus.
- Duke University
- Montreat College
- North Carolina Wesleyan College
- Wake Forest University
- Shaw University
Colleges hope students understand virtual fairs are important and can help them make a decision about what college they attend.
"Sometimes this process can be filled with a lot of anxiety," said Dawn Calhoun with Wake Forest University's Undergraduate Admissions. "So I think having somebody to talk to, to get support from, is really helpful."
Wake Forest is also holding a virtual open house on Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Students can watch pre-recorded talks about everything from financial aid to prospective career paths. There will also be a time where students can ask questions about the college application process and the schools.
Students can register for virtual open house sessions with their school's admissions counselors at the colleges of their choice.
