The Counseling and Wellness Department along with the Multilingual Learners Department at Fair Lawn High School organized three college tours spanning from October to November. Junior and Senior Multilingual Learner students had the chance to explore Kean University, Ramapo College, and Bergen Community College. Admissions representatives warmly welcomed students with college merchandise, guiding them through campus tours led by university student representatives. Students got a taste of college life by attending lectures, dining in college cafeterias, and touring a dorm room and residence hall while classes were in session.
During the tours, students gained valuable insights into the admissions process, financial aid opportunities, student activities, sports offerings, and college advising. They even had the opportunity to engage with college representatives, participating in application completion sessions for admission.
