Students and parents can learn about more than 200 different in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities at the Illinois College Exposition (ICE) March 19 at North Central College.

"This event creates an opportunity for students and their families to see some 200 colleges and military programs in one place on one night," says Kristina Bonn, enrollment information specialist at North Central College. "It gives attendees an opportunity to shop around."

The free ICE fair takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, March 19, at North Central College's Residence Hall/Recreation Center, 440 S. Brainard St., Naperville.

Designed for high school juniors and sophomores, ICE introduces students and their parents to representatives from more than 200 post-secondary institutions, both in state and out of state, as well as the armed services.
