Citrus College’s transfer fair was a smashing success for many students.
Citrus College hosted its semi-annual transfer fair Wednesday at the Campus Center Mall.
The event hosted 38 tables, filled with colleges from all around California, a few out of state colleges and five from Citrus consisting of programs to help students reach their transfer goals.
The tables were filled with representatives from each college, ready to answer any and all questions.
“The idea behind the fair is that we have representatives from the UC system, the CSU system, private universities, and out-of-state universities all here (Wednesday) available to answer students’ questions about transfer admission requirements, programs that they may have available at their institution and campus life,” said Jessica Lopez-Jimenez, the director of student support services.
Fullerton representative Christin Johnson knew what information students would need to succeed.
“I think just making sure they’ve looked into the university, researching what programs that the school offers to make sure that the major that the school offers will align with whatever their career goals are,” she said.
Many students found this information and more at the event. .
“The people here, all the representatives, have a lot of information about their colleges,” said student Rosa Gutierrez.
Students were overly pleased about the event, stating they would recommend it for everyone.
“I learned some stuff I didn’t even know,” student Martin Flores said.
Flores further explained how he planned to go to USC, but the Academy of Arts University changed his mind.
