Andrea Malkin Brenner and Lara Schwartz guide first-year students and their families at any point in the transition process, during the summer after high school graduation and throughout the school year, to prepare them to succeed and thrive as they transition and adapt to college. How to College-“with suggestions that are spot on” ( The New York Times Book Review)-is here to help. In fact, up to one third of first-year college students will not return for their second year-and colleges are reporting an increase in underprepared first-year students.

Academic standards and expectations are different from high school families aren’t present to serve as “scaffolding” for students and students have to do what they call “adulting.” Nothing in the college admissions process prepares students for these new realities. Students and parents arrive on campus unprepared for what college is really like.
