Not sure where you want to go to university yet? You’re not alone. Over 120,000 parents and students are expected to flock to this weekend’s Ontario Universities’ Fair (OUF) in Toronto.

The fair will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from Friday, Sept. 28 to Sunday, Sept. 30.

“Universities have been collaborating on initiatives that prepare students for their university decision making since 1971, when they agreed to set up the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC), now recognized worldwide as one of the largest and most successful centres for processing university applications,” said Alastair Summerlee, Chair of the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) and President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Guelph.

“The university fair, information program and eINFO are all activities organized by OUAC for the benefit of students contemplating university education.”
