Is your college student taking full advantage of their opportunities in college? As with so many things during the college years, students struggle to find balance in many areas of their lives. They face many challenges, opportunities, and growing responsibilities. College experiences come in many forms, and your student needs to determine how to negotiate these experiences. In several areas, students may need help in discovering how to find the ”extra value”.

The Norm:
Students come to college expecting a new level of schoolwork. Most rise to the challenge of different types of classes and increased homework. They know that they are required to spend more time outside of class doing schoolwork. They know that their thinking may be challenged on a new level. Many students do the work required and gain tremendous knowledge from their classes.
