The Colleges That Change Lives West Coast college fair tours starts this Saturday.  Tour stops include Seattle, Portland, San Francisco (2), Los Angeles, San Diego, and Denver.  I'm covering the first four fairs and Clint Gasaway will cover the final three.  

Any high school student, regardless of where they are in the college search process, would be wise to attend an event in their area.  Tours covering the southern states and the Midwest are scheduled for later this summer.  Complete details can be found at www.ctcl.com.

For myself, this tour serves as pre-season for fall travel and it does include two-a-days.  The Seattle and Portland fairs will be held on Saturday and both San Francisco fairs are scheduled for Sunday.  I think I must have drawn the short straw.  Four fairs, three cities, two days, that's a grind.  All worth in the end.

Here's a complete list of dates, times, and locations.
