From High School to
College: A Time of Transition for Students and Parents

9, 2010
The transition from high school to college
represents a new road in your child's life. For many students, this
significant milestone symbolizes the beginning of independence as they
separate from their parents and begin their journey into adulthood.
As is true with any change, this passage will require adjustment
on the part of the college bound student as well as their parents. Join
Collin College's Counseling staff as they take you along this path and
show you some tools to use in navigating the terrain.
