From time to time, we like to review some of the books available for parents of college students. There is a wealth of literature available to help parents cope with the transition to college and the changes that occur throughout the college years. We’ve created lists of recommended reading, and there is something for everyone. See our Resources and Tools page for suggestions.
College Success: Advice for Parents of High School and College Students
You’ve survived the college admissions process, orientation, move-in day and now your college freshman is securely settling in at college. As a college parent, you are relieved, excited, perhaps a bit sad, and apprehensive all at the same time. Your college student is about to begin what may be the most important six weeks of their college career.
The evidence is mounting, and the information is impressive. What happens during the first six weeks of college may be important in determining a student’s ability to persist and graduate. Many students’ college success can be solidified or thwarted during the first six weeks of freshman year. Several sources suggest that nearly 40% of students who begin college will not complete their education. ”A freshman’s most critical transition period occurs during the first two to six weeks.” (Levitz & Noel, 1989)
