The thought of going to college is exciting. It is a major change in your life and a de facto step toward independence in your life. The preparation for this requires research, resources, and resilience. Going to visit colleges is part of the process, but that can be expensive – especially if you want to visit a college that is far away. One company has a potential solution: virtual college fairs. Go to the link below and read the article. Write a reflective comment that addresses my questions and expresses your thoughts about the topic.
How useful would a virtual college fair be to you? When would be the best time to have one? We missed the fair that was held in March, but there will be another one next fall. Go to the CollegeWeekLive website and look at the information that they offer on their Web pages. Identify some aspects of the website that would be beneficial and some that would not be worthwhile. What do they need to add to make their virtual college fair better? Should our school make students aware of this website? Seniors, even though you probably have already decided on a school, your input would be helpful for those who are coming after you. Would you recommend that students investigate this website?

As you know, I’m a high school student who doesn’t know what to study in the future or which college/university I will go to. This Virtual College Fair is a good idea and would be very useful to me and other people for a lot of reasons. I went to the CollegeWeekLive website and it made me want to sign in, although I didn’t know how. As I was looking through it, the most worthwhile aspect of this website is a chat room where you can chat with college students and ask them questions about that college and what they offer there. There is nothing that isn’t worthwhile in this website because everything there helps a lot. They might want to add in the future universities outside of the United States so that it would give students an adventure. I totally believe that our school should make students aware of this websites because it helps you pick universities out for you and keeps you aware of what’s happening in these colleges/universities.
I would find a cyber college word weird and annoying I believe that a person should meet people in person not just through online believe that cyber fairs shouldn’t be used at all. I like that fact that the website is easy to use and can see all the university the website has to offer. No, our school shouldn’t use this website because all interview has to be in person not online then it would be just a chat.
Me as a person would find a cyber college very weird and annoying, I think that a person should have a class in person not online, in my opinion people understand more while they are in class, and I think that they would not focus through the internet. No, I don’t think that our school should use this website because all interviews should be made in person not online.
It would be very useful to me to know other countries university. Also, I could get information easily. I think right after the SAT exam or, update every date when every countries began to submit the application. Actually, when I first get into the website, I can’t understand intent of this site. Design was simple that it wasn’t so messed up, but in my opinion they should add more impacts what they are doing. They also add more events of college and the newest information of the college, and make search tool easily. In our school, may be some of them but I don’t think many of them aware this site. Because most of people already decide their school to go. I would not recommend to the other student, because college is very significant. We can’t choose easily only with the information of the website. I recommend search the basic college in the website and investigate by yourself.
When you ask me about the virtual collage fair I think it’s a waste of time, I believe that they shouldn’t have done something like that people should meet each other in person not over the internet also people should get an experience when they go to the collage in person. Like I said I don’t like the fact that they are doing such thing so I would never use it maybe if I cant travel for some personal reason I would use this site other than that I would never do such thing. To make their collage fair better they should start selling plane tickets on the site. I don’t think there is something with this site, but me as a student in high school I wouldn’t use it. There is nothing wrong with this site so yes people should check it out, however, people shouldn’t depend on it.
The virtual College sounds like a great idea for students that are overseas, therefore having no way of going to visit a college back in the states. The website seems to offer a lot of insight to college life and also what is going on in college classes and everyday life. The best time to have one of these college fairs would probably be at the beginning of the year, then about halfway through the year, like around Christmas break for example. Our school should definately make this website known to the students in case some need some help finding a good college to go to.
A virtual college fair would and wouldn’t be useful for me because My girlfriend is going to the community college that I am going to go to. In between Spring and Summer would be the best time. Well looking at the website it looks like it could help those choose which college they want. I don’t think there is anything to add or subtract on the website to make it better. I think it would be helpful to our school because we are in Jordan and it would be a lot of money to fly to the states or call just to ask questions. Me being the only senior in this class and also have lived in the states for most of my life, I have no need of this website. But yeah I think we should tell the juniors about this website.
Wooksoon/// It would be good to aboard students. Also, when someone is aboard, then he can easily contact to colleages. Actually, when I visited the sites, I think that they are not quite known to students, and they didn't develop well. When I go to the winner of the video things, it was so poor. But, their main idea of chatting, video, etc...things are very nice. I want to recommend this site to other students. It organized quite well, and it is very useful to senior or high schoolers.
I think the idea for the virtual college fair and website is a great idea to give high school kids and idea out on where to go to college. Let's face it today, all high school kids are lazy. All they do is sit on the couch and watch TV or surf the Internet, so what better way is there to get kids interested in college. And even better high school students who use this program can talk to other students at that university for an idea of what it's like. In conclusion I think the idea for a virtual college was a good one.
They need to really improve in the virtual college fair but I do think it’s a good idea. Yes, I do think they should make students in our school aware to this website, especially when there seniors. Yes, I do think it would be helpful for those who are coming after me. Yes I would.
