One stop school shopping at FISD College Fair
January 24, 2019
The second Frisco ISD college fair took place on Wednesday night at Frisco High School.
Dozens of colleges, including ivy league schools such as Harvard and Stanford attended the fair giving students the opportunity to look at several different colleges.
For junior Brayden White, the fair gives him the chance to narrow down on his list of colleges.
“To be honest I already had a few colleges picked out,” White said. “I’ve gotten some more info, so that helps.”
Braden’s mom, Bethany White, believes the college fair gives parents and students the information they need to make the best decision for the future.
“I think it’s great that there are so many colleges represented here,” Bethany said. “It makes it pretty easy to just to go up to the table and ask questions that you might have about their school, what their degrees are, to help him make better decisions and explore more options.”
