About the Book

*Receive the Kindle edition FREE with purchase of the paperback*Written by an academic dean, this short guide is designed to help parents throughout the college admissions process. It is also for parents of students in their first year of college, the freshman year.The process of getting into college can be stressful, and once enrolled, nearly 30% of first-year students do not return for their sophomore year. Nearly 50% of students who start college don't finish in 4 years. The reasons for these outcomes are complex, but they begin with the unrealistic myths schools use to market the college experience, followed by deficient support during the freshman year despite visible first-year experience programs.Drawing on three decades of experience teaching and advising college students as well as on extensive senior leadership expertise at elite research universities and small colleges, Seastian-Jones gives parents an unusually candid and realistic examination of the four dominant myths about college and the first-year experience that negatively affect all students academically, personally, socially, and financially.With wisdom and compassion, this guide expertly addresses why colleges promote these myths. She gives parents (and students) 7 clear ways to identify and manage these myths during campus visits and the transition to college, during the enrollment and orientation processes, as well as during the first-year experience/freshman year.In addition to helping parents identify these pivotal 4 myths and how they work, this guide gives families the strategies for getting the information they need from institutions about the freshman year on their campuses. Through her matter-of-fact approach to higher education, Viola Sebastian-Jones helps both parents and students create the educational experience they deserve.Topics: college admission, college admissions guide, college admission books, higher education, getting into college, college parents, demystifying college, going to college, college advise, freshman year, first year experience, college parenting, college parent survival, survival guide, parents and college
