Why do so many college freshmen get low grades their first semester? Many parents think that it just all the "freedom" with nobody around to supervise them, but there is something else far more important.
No matter how well a student did in high school, college is a totally different experience, with totally different expectations. Unless a student learns the specific skills ahead of time, the first semester will be their frustrating learning curve experience. That CAN be avoided.
Preparation for on-campus success should begin a few weeks before the student arrives in the Fall. It should include preparations for the social as well as academic aspects of college. There are quite a few specific things that students can do that don't require much time in order to arrive on campus the first day well on their way to being plugged in socially and poised academically to a successful first semester.
