From High School to College - Introduction


As you are preparing yourself to come to campus in the fall, you may feel a bit overwhelmed and uneasy. Asking yourself What's it going to be like? What should I expect? Will I be able to do it? What are the classes going to be like? Who is going to help me?

After reminding yourself that your questions and emotions are the same as every other college freshman, you should begin to prepare yourself for the reality that college is and will be fundamentally different that high school. Just as elementary school was different from junior high, and junior high different than high school, college will place new and higher (but not out of reach) expectations on you.

To help you make your transition from high school to college successful and satisfying, this "From High School to College" series of posts over the coming weeks will help you understand and prepare for the changes...and adapt to the new culture, climate and living conditions you will encourage when you arrive at UNI.
