Your College Survival Guide is an interactive workbook designed to help graduating high school seniors transition into the college environment successfully.
The author, Arielle Stratton, graduated from High Point University in 2015 with a degree in Business Administration, concentrating in Entrepreneurial Business. During all four of her collegiate years, she volunteered as a Peer Mentor assisting new college freshmen to get acclimated to college. Having gone through the transition herself, on top of going to school over 1,100 miles from home, she made the transition pretty easily. However, she quickly saw that this was not the case with some of her peers. Knowing that her younger sister would be moving away to college two years after her, she came up with this book as a graduation present. Before she knew it, she was handing out copies to friends, neighbors, and parents of college seniors as well. Many parents loved the idea and wanted to provide their child with something that would support their soon-to-be-freshmen with mental and emotional encouragement, instead of just financial.
After reading and using this guide, Arielle hopes that future college freshmen feel more at ease when making the transition from high school to college. It will get easier, and she hopes that college truly is the best four years of your life!
