When a student begins college, the entire family is affected, whether your student will be living on campus or commuting from home. A major adjustment is required of your student.
Some students make the adjustment to the demands of college life with relative ease.
However, the majority of college freshmen experience some uneasy feelings during their first semester on campus. An adjustment is also required of you and other family members. If the student leaves home to live on campus, it changes the dynamics of the family left behind. Parents and siblings must now decide how they will deal with this change. These are not easy issues to face, and your student will not be the only one who experiences this adjustment.
