College Success Coaching

Most students—even those who feel well-prepared--discover that college is more challenging than they expected. First-year students, in particular, face a number of transitions all at once:

New environment-geographically, culturally, politically

  • Endless choices

  • New rules and regulations to navigate

  • More challenging academically

  • Social adjustment: diversity, drinking, dating

  • Living away from home, renegotiating relationships with parents

  • Finding the balance: academics, extracurriculars, social life, work, community engagement

  • Building new relationships, finding “your people”

  • Establishing a new identity

The good news is that you don’t need to face these challenges alone, or rely only on college staff, who have limited availability.
