Entering College: A Big StepJohn W. Harp, Vice President for Student Affairs It’s almost time for your son or daughter to take the big step of leaving home and entering college. This will be both an exciting and anxiety-filled experience for new college students (and for parents). When new students across the country arrive on their college campuses soon, it will start the clock on a critical six- to 10-week period in which they will engage in new experiences related to their immediate and eventual success in college. Adapting to new surroundings, new friends, new academic expectations, new routines, and a roommate are just a few of the transitional challenges that new students encounter. But rest easy, the faculty and staff at Cornell College are well-trained to assist your son or daughter with these and other transitions. |
