Transition to and Through College

The transition to and through college can be a challenging time! As you’ve probably already realized, college students are managing a lot of different changes in their lives…balancing demanding courses, learning about the rules of college coursework, and navigating new friendships and social relationships. Some students are living on campus and encountering these challenges while living away from home for the first time. Other students are living at home and commuting to classes, or taking all of their classes online while living elsewhere. Some students may be anxious about meeting others in person and prefer online meetings, while others find it especially intimidating to meet with someone for the first time over video conference.

The following exercise will help you think about the kinds of support that would be helpful to you as you transition to and through college.
