Synopsis

Your Freshman is Off to College: A Month-By-Month Guide to the First Year

This comprehensive guide is here to help you confidently support your young adult through the ups and downs of their first year of college. Whether they’re navigating newfound independence, academic pressure, or social changes, this book equips you with the insight and tools to be a steady source of encouragement―without overstepping.

More than just a guide to what you can expect, Your Freshman is Off to College offers a window into what your student is likely experiencing during this pivotal year. With that understanding, you’ll be better prepared to recognize when your young adult needs a comforting hand―and when they need the space to stumble, grow, and learn on their own.

With empathy, practical advice, and a focus on setting clear boundaries, this guide will empower you to help your student from a healthy distance to build a strong foundation for success in the six areas of college adjustment―academic, social, emotional, cultural, intellectual, and financial.

Because letting go doesn’t mean letting them go at it alone.

 

The Authors' Story

Laurie Hazard and Stephanie Carter have spent their careers working together in higher education, helping students transition successfully into college life. As moms of young adults who’ve navigated the journey themselves, they bring both professional expertise and personal insight to their work. Their collaboration began years ago when their own children were little―often brainstorming ideas and outlining chapters during breaks between soccer games and art classes. Now with grown kids and decades of experience, they continue to partner on projects from their hometown of Warwick, Rhode Island, driven by a shared passion for supporting students and the families who love them.
