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 and beyond. We’ve offered some lists of recommended reading, and there is something for everyone. Check out our Resources and Tools page for suggestions.
From time to time, we like to review some of the books available for parents of college students.
In this review, we’ll take a look at It’s the Student, Not the College: The Secrets of Succeeding at Any School Without Going Broke or Crazy
It’s the Student Not the College should be on every parent’s reading list — and probably on their student’s list as well. It is important reading for college parents, but even more important reading for high school parents whose students are still in the midst of the admission process. We agree wholeheartedly with the premise of the book. According to the author, ”the message at the heart of this book (is) that success is within a person’s own power and will not be determined by the college (a student) attends.”
