All “College Fairs” are not alike!  Did you know that there are several “Fairs” coming up in October that will focus on OUT-OF-STATE colleges?  Literally 100’s of college representatives from all over the USA will be at these “Fairs” to help you discover their campuses, compare costs, & learn whether out-of-state might be perfect (and maybe even cheaper) for you.  These October “Fairs” are spread around the city, today in Denver; and Saturday morning, Oct. 12 in Highlands Ranch.  Students from all high schools are welcome!  See Counseling for details.
