A transfer fair helped students speak to school representatives about the universities they are hoping to attend.
Citrus College’s transfer fair was held Oct. 22 at the Campus Center Mall for students to receive information about the transfer process, financial aid and what other campuses offer.
Upon arrival students received a bag with a sticker, notepad with post-it notes, transfer center business card and QR code for a transfer events calendar.
Students were also encouraged to fill out an evaluation form and return it for a chance to enter a raffle. Winners were notified over the phone.
The form also contained sample questions to ask the representatives.
Business administration major Kamal Virdi and computer science major Carla Villanueva Huerta shared what they hoped to find at the transfer fair and what their experience being there was.
Hoping to get information on Cal Poly Pomona and University of California, Riverside, Virdi said attending the event helped open her eyes to the more campus options available that align with her goals. The representatives were helpful in hearing what their schools had to offer, she said.
The Transfer Fair was well set up, Huerta said. She found information about UC campuses such as San Diego and Santa Barbara.
Many campuses were available for students to speak to and they were easy to find.
The fair is designed for students to find information about financial aid, the campuses they want as well as open their eyes to other options for their major.
Representatives for each school are there to answer questions students have about the fair.
University representatives declined to be interviewed.
