Running Head: Module 4: School Issues 2  Family and Peer Support- no matter how independent the student, successfully transitioning into college often begins with strong family support. For some students, financial support is an important aspect of getting into and starting school. Emotional support is often more critical, as students rely on parents, siblings and other family members to coach them on the transition and listen when times are tough. In the school setting, a strong peer network and social involvement become integral. Students need to feel that they belong and can rely on other students to encourage them and hold them accountable for work.  Academic Habits- the requirements for out-of-class work time, reading and studying typically ramp up significantly from high school to college. Students who got by or did well in high school with minimal effort can flounder without effective academic habits. Keeping a schedule, blocking out study time, going to bed on time, attending all classes, using academic support resources and meeting with professors as needed are all effective academic habits. While you can get coaching and develop these habits as a new student, good academic habits shaped during high school give you a strong predisposition for success.  Life skills- balance is often the operative word to college student success. Balancing the responsibilities of being an independent adult with the benefits of freedom from parents and home rules is critical. Managing money and making wise financial decisions can help a college student avoid stress. Doing laundry, maintaining proper hygiene, exercising and eating well, and getting adequate sleep are all life skill areas that factor into student success.
