Monmouth County College Fair

Due to the New Jersey State of Emergency for this Sunday, Oct. 12, 2025, the Monmouth County College Fair has been rescheduled to Monday, Oct. 13 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

Welcome to the Monmouth County Guidance Directors Association’s annual Fall College Fair! We are excited to announce that you will be joining us on October 13th, 2025, at 5:00 PM.

The college search and selection process is an exciting journey for families, and college fairs often serve as a significant first step. This event provides excellent opportunities to meet with representatives from various schools, allowing you to identify programs, gather information regarding financial aid offerings, and assess your level of interest. Whether you are a junior narrowing down your options or an underclassman just starting to explore, take this time to discover schools you may wish to visit in person.

As you walk through the OceanFirst Bank Center and review the many available options, consider the following questions: What majors am I most interested in? Is there a specific geographical area where I would like to remain? Would I thrive at a large school, a small school, or somewhere in between? What activities and programs are most important to me? While school websites can provide valuable information about size, programs, and activities, face-to-face meetings with admissions representatives offer a more personalized and authentic view of the school experience. These representatives are highly knowledgeable, so don’t hesitate to ask them plenty of questions.

Be sure to keep track of the answers you receive—take notes, maintain a journal, or create a chart—and share this information with your school counselor, who is a valuable resource in guiding you through your final college decisions.

Once you have narrowed your list using online programs, college “best of” books, the college fair, and, most importantly, your school counselor, you will be prepared to explore colleges firsthand—visiting campuses and perhaps even sitting in on classes! The journey from search to selection can be a fantastic adventure; approach it with forethought, planning, and an open mind, and the path will lead you to the best college match.

Special thanks to Monmouth University for hosting this event and to our “Help Table” volunteers. Without their efforts and support, this regional college fair would not be possible.
