You have put incredible amounts of time, effort
and financial resources into preparing to get into college, yet how much thought have you given what you will do once you
get there?!! Over 1/3 of college freshman drop out before the end of their first year and half fail to graduate. For
a smooth transition, there is much more to do than choose a roommate and pick out your bedding!! Spend a few hours with
other students from the Class of 2012 and begin to focus on your upcoming freshman year. Turn your apprehension and
nerves into excitement and confidence! Three years ago, I commenced a program that focused
on the health and well being of high school graduates embarking on their freshman year of college. Transitions are difficult
at any stage of life, but particularly as students embark on independent living for the first time. Understanding how realistic
expectations and early preparation can greatly impact those first challenging months and ultimately, your college experience,
is valuable and important. We will discuss and explore what to expect, proactive steps to take, and how to achieve balance
and control in your life at a time when freshmen commonly become overwhelmed. Here's what some of our past participants had to say:
"I was definitely not bored! Everything was interesting and
informative. Don't change a thing!!" Stephanie S.
"Everything
I was concerned about was discussed." Nicole G.
"Having all
the information from this session I feel so much less overwhelmed and more confident with my upcoming college experience."
- Elaine T. "So I got your
email yesterday and realized that I never emailed you and just said a huge thank you! I ended up having a great year
at school and am so happy that I stuck it out! Thank you so much for everything that you did!" - KK
