Meet 150+ universities at the largest US university fair in Europe.

This free event provides students and parents with the unique opportunity to meet representatives from over 150 American universities and educational service providers in London. USA College Day is the largest US university fair in Europe.

Our Lower Sixth students are currently busy deciding upon their plans for when they leave Princethorpe. Many are considering university and are using Unifrog to help them decide which institutions might suit them best. It might be worth looking at this link too for student reviews of different aspects of university life such as quality of the accommodation, nightlife, clubs and societies etc., link here. 

Parents and carers might like to look at the UCAS website Parents area where there is lots of useful information to help you support your sons and daughters. You can sign up to receive a regular parents newsletter to make sure you stay ahead with what needs to be done and when - link here.
