PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Nearly 144 colleges and universities from throughout the United States and Canada will be represented Thursday morning, Sept. 24, from 9 to 11:30 at the annual College Fair hosted by Berkshire Community College.
Sponsored by the New England Association of College Admissions Counselors, the fair is free and open to the public. It is held in the Paterson Field House on BCC's main campus in Pittsfield.
"The fair provides an excellent opportunity for students to gather information and meet representatives from all kinds of colleges and universities," said Tina Schettini, Senior Admissions Counselor at BCC. "Prospective freshmen and transfer students are encouraged to attend," she added.
The vast majority of the schools represented are located in New England, New York, and other nearby states. However, according to Schettini, more than 20 will come from as far away as Alaska and Missouri to the west, North Carolina and Florida to the south, and Nova Scotia to the north.
Information tables about financial aid, the College Board, and the New England Board of Higher Education will also be available.
