Transitioning to a residential college
Oh how the season races! High school commencement is becoming
a sweet memory, summer new-student orientations have begun,
and deciding what to take and what to leave at home is becoming
a very real consideration for members of the Class of 2008.
Okay, you know you can’t bring the hot tub to your dorm
room and the pet ferret is unwelcome in most all lecture halls
you’re likely to encounter. But what about the more
pithy considerations related to the college transition: Managing
money, stress and academic responsibilities, to name a few.
Join us for two conversations—one for parents, one for
incoming students—with three IU staff members who make
their livings promoting student success.
