What are some campus-based resources we should look for when researching potential colleges?
Many colleges in an effort to support incoming students have created programs entitled “First Year Experience” (sometimes known as University 101 and College 101) that help with student transitions from high school to college. Look for the available academic resources for students (for example, offices with names such as, or similar to, Center for Student Learning, Career Center, Academic Advising and Planning Center) and how accessible these are to students. Also, investigate the Residence Life environment for first-year students.
