本週三，VIS College Counseling 團隊舉辦大學迷你博覽會，並邀請來自美國、澳洲及加拿大的七所大學與 VIS 學生面對面交流，讓同學在校園裡就能接觸不同國家的高等教育選擇，親自探索屬於自己的升學方向。
本次參與的大學包括：
柏克萊音樂學院（Berklee College of Music）
奧蒂斯藝術與設計學院（Otis College of Art and Design）
蒙納許大學（Monash University）
昆士蘭大學（The University of Queensland）
華威大學（University of Warwick）
麥基爾大學（McGill University）
福坦莫大學（Fordham University）
活動期間，學生絡繹不絕，親自與大學招生代表交流。他們在聆聽介紹之餘，也主動提出問題，從學術課程、校園生活與申請流程，到各校的特色與未來發展方向，直接向大學代表了解自己真正關心的資訊。
活動現場也有許多九年級學生熱情響應。雖然距離正式申請大學或許還有幾年的時間，但對他們而言，升學探索從來不必等到申請季才開始。當學生願意提早認識不同的可能，開始思考「我對什麼有興趣？」「我未來想學習什麼？」「什麼樣的環境適合我？」這些看似簡單的問題，正是認識自己、規劃未來的重要起點。
我們一向鼓勵學生在探索世界各個大學的過程中，逐漸找到自己的興趣、方向與目標。大學迷你博覽會提供的正是這樣的機會，讓學生親自提問、比較選擇、認識世界，也開始想像未來。
This Wednesday, the VIS College Counseling Team hosted the VIS University Mini Fair, as we welcomed representatives from eight universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada to meet with students. The event gave students the opportunity to explore different options for higher education, and begin discovering pathways that align with their interests and goals.
Participating Universities:
• Berklee College of Music
• Otis College of Art and Design
• University of Birmingham
• Monash University
• University of Queensland
• University of Warwick
• McGill University
• Fordham University
Throughout the event, students came by to speak directly with university representatives. They actively asked questions about academic programs, campus life, admissions processes, distinctive features, and future opportunities, gaining firsthand insights into the information that matters most to them.
Many Grade 9 students also took part. Although they may still be several years away from applying to university, there is no need to wait until application season to begin exploring their options. By learning about different possibilities early on and asking questions such as, “What am I interested in?” “What would I like to study in the future?” and “What kind of environment would suit me?”, students can begin to better understand themselves and envision their future paths.
We've encouraged students to explore universities around the world as they gradually discover their own interests, directions, and goals.
The University Mini Fair provided is a good chance for students to ask questions, see their options, connect with universities from around the world, and begin imagining what their future might look like.
