A few of these included LSU, LSUA, Centenary, Holy Cross, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, University of Louisiana at Monroe, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, University of Holy Cross, Tulane, and many more. Students asked the college representatives questions to help them decide on which college they want to attend. The students learned many important details about what each college had to offer their students. University of Louisiana at Lafayette seemed to be one of the most popular colleges at the fair.
