This is the Single Best Thing You Can Do to Prepare for College


College is a whole new world. You’re about to be bombarded with more extracurriculars, exams and social events than you can fit in your planner. Whether you’re waiting for your acceptance letter or just starting to think about where to apply, the concept of ~college~ is still pretty scary. You’ll be forced to deal with questions like:

  1. Should I join a sorority?
  2. Is study abroad all it’s cracked up to be?
  3. How will I possibly pick the right college out of hundreds of options?

Girl, we’ve got you covered. What if we told you all of those questions (and more!) could potentially be answered at one single event—by people who actually have been there, done that and can tell you the truth about what to expect at college? 

Get ALL of your college questions answered at Her Conference: High School, a one-day event held in Boston that helps high school students and their parents get the insights, information and inspiration they need to apply to and attend college. From the ins and outs of college applications and how to find your best fit to navigating sorority rush and financial woes, Her Conference: High School is filled with keynotes, panels, workshops and more!

You’ll hear from admissions experts, campus advisors and real college students on what college is REALLY like. Oh yeah, and you’ll get tons of free food, a major swag bag, the chance to win raffle prizes and the opportunity to network with prominent speakers and like-minded high school women from across the country.
