Lake County Fall College Fair

Co-sponsored by Lakeland Community College and Lake Erie College, the Lake County Fall College Fair is held in the Athletic and Fitness Center on Lakeland Community College's campus.

We invite dozens of schools from Ohio and surrounding states to participate in this free on-campus event to help Lake County residents learn more about their options in higher education.

Students and parents will have the opportunity to speak with personnel from participating schools and ask questions about colleges and universities of interest.

College Fair Details

The next Lake County Fall College Fair will be held on October 3, 2026.

Students can register with StriveScan before attending to create a personal barcode. Reps will scan it instantly to collect your details, so you do not have to fill out contact forms at every booth.

Tips for Making the Most Out of Your College Fair Visit

Students and their families should prepare a few things before coming to a college fair.

Here are a couple things we recommend that you do before your visit:

  1. Review the list of attending schools to narrow it down, for example: Big or small? Public or private?
  2. Prepare a list of questions that will help you with your decision:
    • What are the most popular majors?
    • How much is tuition?
    • Are scholarships available?
    • What is the ratio of professors to students?
    • What are the student housing options?
    • What is student life like during the week?
    • During the weekend?

Autumn Reynolds Lakeland has been a very enriching and welcoming experience, making way for a great transition from high school to college. My experience here has been incredible so far. The extra clubs and events Lakeland has to offer gives you the chance to experience a college life on a fabulous budget. My biggest piece of advice is to take advantage of everything on campus: the events, the gym, the clubs, the food bank. Go ahead and get out of your comfort zone to try them out.
