The annual college fair at Sunlake High School is an eagerly awaited event for both juniors and seniors. Each year, as the fall season rolls in, representatives from colleges across the country converge in the school’s gymnasium to offer students a valuable opportunity to explore their higher education options. For many, like junior Andrew Christopher, it’s a chance to glean insights and information from top-notch institutions.

At this year’s event, Andrew engaged with college representatives from a variety of schools, including the University of Florida, University of South Florida, University of Central Florida, and Florida Atlantic University. According to Andrew, this experience holds immense significance because it assists students in making one of the most pivotal decisions of their lives—choosing the right college or university. “College fair is a very important experience because it helps us decide where we want to go,” Andrew affirms.

While Andrew has yet to pinpoint his major of choice, he has a clear vision of the colleges that pique his interest. His shortlist comprises institutions both near and far, with the likes of the University of Tennessee, Syracuse University, the University of South Florida, and Florida State University. However, he is aiming to venture into the realm of out-of-state colleges and universities.

As Sunlake High School’s college fair continues to serve as a pivotal stepping stone in the academic journey of students like Andrew, it remains a testament to the power of knowledge, guidance, and aspiration in shaping the future of these bright minds.
