GETTING READY TO BE A SUCCESSFUL COLLEGE STUDENT

11/9/2016

0 Comments

 
Although most of the focus of high school seniors and juniors is getting accepted to the school of their choice, another area of focus should also be on their radar.  That other area is ensuring students have the skills to actually be successful in college.  Getting into college does not assure that a student will be successful in college.  A recent article talked about the types of students who thrive academically in college, and those who struggle academically.  The article refers to them as “thrivers” and “divers”.  These are students who began college with similar high school grades but began to achieve differently in college.  Read the article to learn more about this topic.


Additionally, it would be helpful for students and parents to be aware of what some colleges consider to be the important skills for success.  This list from Clark University is helpful to explore before students begin college, as developing these skills for some students can take more time and focus than other students.  Getting into college is a great first step, but being aware of what skills will enhance a student’s success can be just as important.
