    This is your opportunity to hear from more than 75 universities as they go over the questions they hear most from students.

    Join our College 101 presentation, a discussion with tips and best practices as students go through the admissions process, followed by Paying for College, where you will learn in-depth information about scholarships and financial aid.

    The following three days, the University Spotlight sessions will highlight numerous universities with the lastest information about their institution and criteria specific to each college.
