Choosing the Right College: Junior & Sophomore Open House
Click here to register
Sat., Apr. 16, 2011
Susquehanna University presents "Choosing the Right College," an open house designed to help high school juniors and sophomores learn how to successfully conduct a college search. We hope that you will join us for an informative day that will ultimately give you the tools to find that college for yourself.
Why not be steps ahead of the rest? At SU's open house, you will receive inside tips on college admissions and financial aid, learn how to write a strong application essay, and meet faculty from your area of academic interest. You will also have the chance to take a campus tour, eat lunch in our dining hall and learn about opportunities such as study abroad and internships. It is never too early to start planning your college career.
We look forward to seeing you on April 16th!
