After you get home

Make a point of going through the materials and your notes within one week after the fair.
You'll probably remember more about your conversations with college representatives
while the memories from the fair are still fresh.

Follow up with any college that interests you by contacting the admissions office to ask
further questions and, if possible, plan a visit to the campus.
