College Planning

Many colleges and universities send admission counselors and representatives to South River during the school year. This information is advertised via morning announcements and is posted on the Information Board located across from the cafeteria. Any student who wishes to meet with an admissions representative must sign up in the Guidance Office prior to the scheduled visit.
