The beginning of a new chapter is just around the corner, and sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s more anxious—our incoming students or their families! Whether it’s your parents, grandparents, siblings, or other important people in your lives who support you, your transition to campus can be just as tough for them as it is for you while they try to understand how your life is going to change as a college student. If you need a break from all of the nagging questions or aren’t certain about how to reassure them that everything is going to be OK (we promise it will be!), ask them to take a look at this webisode and let us relieve some of your stress. We’ll take care of filling them in on all they need to know about supporting you in the best way possible as you get acclimated to college life.
