Transitioning to University
The transition to college can be a difficult adjustment for the student as well as his/her family. The following links provide a topical approach to assist with this transition by providing a framework for a series of conversations about transitioning. The idea here is for final year (senior) students and parents to schedule a time each week to sit down and explore each topic. A series of questions, pointers, and resources are provided for each weekly exploration.
