The transition to college, however, is a significant one. Therefore, I’d like to share a new resource called College Parent Central. As the blog name indicates, its focus is on arming the parents of college students with the tools they need to assist their college student. The information within, though, is just as relevant for students who wish to prepare themselves for what lies ahead.
Here are just a few samples of what you’ll find there:
The Course Syllabus: Roadmap to Success
Summer Preparations For Your College Student’s Transition to Freshman Year
Should My Student Consider Deferring Enrollment for College?
What Should My College Student Consider When Choosing a Schedule of Classes?
College Students and Credit Cards
Should My College Student Have a Car on Campus?
Discussing Campus Safety With Your College Student
Enjoy exploring the site!
College students, are there websites or blogs you would recommend to others about to head off to college?

Thanks for introducing your readers to College Parent Central. I hope they’ll visit – and leave a comment letting me know that they came from Danceadvantage.
College can be such a busy, and stressful, time. I hope that students who love to dance – even if they are not continuing with a dance major – will find ways to keep it up in college. It’s a wonderful way to continue with something they love to do, and find balance in their lives.
Happy to do it, Vicki!
My two boys are graduating college in May. Neither of them know what they want to do. Found this book yesterday. I’m hoping it will spur them on. “You Have A College Degree, Now What?” http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0578044048/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp
