The Parents’ Role in Student’s Success
The adjustment to college requires time, and students benefit from others who help them focus on the positive aspects of their experience. You can help by being a supportive listener, offering encouragement and helping your student avoid dwelling on negative feelings. When your student turns to you feeling frustrated, upset or homesick, remember this is a way of reaching out, and—more often than not—they simply need an understanding ear.“As a student I wanted an intimate community. As an aspiring journalist I wanted a big city. Dominican gave me both—and so much more.”
