Gold Rush at the Hilton Hotel

Gathering of the future decisions and college pens

26th September 2008, a shiny and great day for college fairs started at 1900 hours and ended at 2200 hours. Many students and IGA community members joined this grand fair partially because it was free that was put on by the Council of International Schools at the Hilton Hotel. To learn about universities, talk to college reps the minibus took them around the busy and narrow streets of Istanbul, Turkey. A lot of students gathered pens many forgetting to collect brochures, they had a great time.

“Overall it was a really neat experience to see possibilities for the future and enjoy the extravagant atmosphere of the Hilton”. Deirdre said.

But the IGA community members weren’t the only ones; there were an estimate of 600 to 700 students primarily from Turkish high schools. This fair has been held every fall at the Hilton Hotel giving many new and same students the opportunity to revisit or visit new colleges.

As Sarabeth said, “Hopefully this fair was used not only to supply us with many colorful pens, but to let us get just a glimpse of what could be.”
