Many first-year college students report feeling \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theharrispoll.com\/the-jed-foundation-partnership-for-drug-free-kids-and-the-jordan-porco-foundation-today-released-the-results-of-a-national-first-year-college-experience-survey-exploring-the-challe\/\">stressed most or all of the time<\/a>,\u201d regardless of where they go to college. A national survey of first-year college students conducted by the JED Foundation, which studies college students\u2019 mental health issues, found that students who feel emotionally unprepared for college were more likely to report\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jedfoundation.org\/first-year-college-experience-release\/\">poor academic performance and negative college experiences<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In recognition of how stressful the first year of college can be, here are five things that we believe can help ease the transition.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Make it OK to ask for help<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While new college students may be intent upon gaining independence, it\u2019s important to stress that knowing when to ask for help is actually a sign of maturity. Along those lines, it\u2019s important to encourage students to seek out the various resources that might be available on campus, such as a counseling center, financial aid office or wellness center. Students who need it should also seek out academic support and tutoring programs. There are also programs to support students with disabilities, as well as diversity and inclusion programs for students who may not feel welcome on campus.<\/p>\n<p>Students should be encouraged to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.academicinfo.net\/campus-life\/smart-students-take-full-advantage-of-campus-resources\">research the support systems<\/a>\u00a0that exist on campus before leaving home instead of waiting until they arrive.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Develop empathy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Parents and soon-to-be college students should discuss the time when the parent first left home and what the challenges were. By discussing what worried or excited the parent the most, and what the parent wishes they would have known before moving out, the parent and student can develop a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/health-shots\/2017\/04\/16\/523592625\/-when-i-was-your-age-and-other-conversational-pitfalls-of-talking-to-teens\">better understanding<\/a>\u00a0and bond over the similarities and differences of their experiences, regardless as to whether the parent attended college.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Discuss your expectations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The way that parents communicate their expectations can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/sociology\/parents-expectations-styles-can-harm-college-students-self-esteem\/\">affect college students\u2019 self-esteem<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In our book, we suggest several prompts for things to discuss that range from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegeparentcentral.com\/2017\/07\/discussing-campus-safety-with-your-college-student-2\/\">personal safety<\/a>\u00a0to religious observance away from home. Other topics include how often parents and their children who are in college will communicate with each other, to how the student should obtain health insurance and budget money.<\/p>\n<p>Having explicit conversations with supporting adults will help prepare first-year students to more confidently face the challenges they encounter on their own without parental support (such as the first time a student experiences an illness or injury in college) and reduce the chance of family conflicts that arise from differing expectations.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, disputes can arise from something as simple as what to do on move-in day. We\u2019ve found that many parents see move-in day as a last special day together, while students often view it as the first day in their new community, not a time for family togetherness. In our book, we recommend that students and their families discuss their expectations about move-in day. Who will be present? Will a parent help unpack and make the bed, or will the family leave once you are unpacked?<\/p>\n<p>Students and parents should also discuss their expectations about academic work. Will the student provide frequent reports? Do the parents understand that college professors and deans do not communicate with parents about grades?<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_47392\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47392\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collegeexpectations.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collegeexpectations.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collegeexpectations-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47392\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Expectations in college vary starkly from what students are expected to do in high school.  LStockStudio from www.shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Emphasize what professors will expect<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>College level work comes with a new set of standards and expectations that are starkly different from what students are accustomed to in high school. Anticipating these higher standards can save students the time and trouble of finding out these things the hard way after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>High school students can often count on reminders about when assignments are due, and high school teachers provide frequent feedback about how students are doing in class. In college, students must keep up with their work on their own. A midterm exam and final paper might be the only grades a student receives in a semester. For those reasons, students should plan to visit their professors during office hours to speak about their progress.<\/p>\n<p>The writing required of college students is also vastly different from that required in high school. In high school, most writing is expository \u2013 explaining what you know. In college, most writing will be persuasive \u2013 making original claims and providing supporting evidence. We recommend that before leaving for college, students consider the types of assignments they\u2019ve been asked to do in high school. Do they have experience writing persuasive papers? They should also consider the feedback they\u2019ve received on their written work. What do teachers say they need to improve? Have they been told they write passionate opinions but need to work on supporting their claims? Students should set a goal to move forward in their writing, and plan to discuss their goal with their professors in office hours before the first paper is due.<\/p>\n<p>Plagiarism and cheating is also dealt with differently in college. In high school, teachers might handle cheating and plagiarism themselves. But in college, plagiarism and cheating violate the school\u2019s academic integrity code or honor code and result in larger penalties \u2013 including failing a course, suspension, academic probation, or in some cases, expulsion.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Expect mistakes, encourage resilience<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Faculty and staff expect first-year students to make rookie mistakes as they get familiar with the demands of college.<\/p>\n<p>Students don\u2019t need to have it all figured out when they arrive on campus. Chances are new students miss an assignment deadline, lose something of importance, fail a test, or sleep in and miss a class during their first semester. Assure your almost-college student that mistakes are part of learning and that mistakes are not only OK, but also expected.<\/p>\n<p>It is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aura.antioch.edu\/etds\/254\/\">resilience<\/a>\u00a0that students show \u2013 that is, the ability to adjust to circumstances in the face of adversity and own up to their mistakes \u2013 that is a hallmark of being a responsible adult.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio: <\/strong>Lara Schwartz is Director, Project on Civil Discourse at the American University School of Public Affairs<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Andrea Malkin Brenner, co-author of \u201cHow to College: What to Know Before You Go (And When You\u2019re There),\u201d co-authored this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the school year begins to wind down, high school seniors \u2013 and those who care about them \u2013 typically have their eyes on two prizes: getting into college and graduating from high school.
