The Transition to College

College represents freedom and enthusiasm for new experiences. College is a place of discoveries with people from different walks of life, opportunities for scholarly investigation and curiosity for learning away from home. College is a chance to grow, learn and change. Change means trying new things, making decisions and gaining new insights.

Know that your student goes through a transition that will differ as they excel year after year. You are a great source of support and we know you will continue to provide recommendations and lend a listening ear to your student. You also go through a transition when your student — whether the first born, the only or the last child — is off to college. Recognize what those changes are for you. Explore them, talk to family members, visit the campus and negotiate an adjusted relationship with your student.
