Preparing
For College
When
your child is about to make that all-important leap into adulthood, via
college, the best thing you can do is be there for him or her and
provide a strong support network.
If
possible, you and your child should visit the school and find out who
the key staff are. It’s important for your student to build a good
relationship with his or her academic advisor, financial aid officer, and
resident assistant to ensure his or her success. Making those contacts
early can lead to wonderful networking opportunities in the future.
