Prospective students
No two ways about it-college is different from high school. In fact, many first-year college students are surprised by the differences. For example, you have a lot more unstructured time, but way more studying to do. Your instructors expect a lot more from you than they did in high school. Plus, most first-year students are living away from home for the first time and learning to cope for themselves. Students with disabilities should anticipate changes, too, especially in how they receive services.
We've tried to outline some of the important changes you should anticipate during your transition to college. Check out these resources and then contact us if you want more information. And be sure to let your parents know there's a section just for them!
