College Readiness

Home
Picture
Moving from high school to college is daunting for almost all students out there.  The good news is that there are things you can do to make that transition smoother or less daunting.

The secret to success in college is remembering that the idea of success is relative.  Because we all have different priorities, goals, and values, your success can look quite different from your classmate’s success, and still both of you can be equally successful.

There is no “right” path to success in college—only the right path for you, and you get to decide what that path looks like.
