The transition from high school to college can be an exciting time of growth and development but also a challenge for first-year college students as well as for their parents and other family members. The primary goal of this information is to give brief, practical advice to college-bound students and their families to help them prepare for the transition to college. The following links will include tips on general adjustment to college, as well as including specific suggestions about how to utilize helpful resources (such as the Counseling Center) available here at CUA.
