Transition to CollegeJennifer, a second-year college student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, explains the problems she had as an incoming freshman. As he describes these reasons, a few stood out, these were the most important. There are academic, mental, and social transitions that incoming college students need to think about. According to the Huffington Post, "the freshman myth causes disenchantment when new college students' academic expectations are not met." (Harke, Freshman Myth). The freshman myth is the result of students not being guided through the classes they need to enroll in and not having professors to hold their hand when they fail or have difficulty understanding a topic. First-year students need to realize that college counselors have many more students to worry about and can only help so much when it comes to class scheduling and keeping students from being direct proof of the freshman myth. the college is creating a class schedule that fits the student's academic needs, keeping time management in mind. This can be a tricky concept for some students if they don't know what classes are required for their desired degree. Thankfully, you don't fully focus on those classes until your junior year of college, depending on which college you attended and how many college credits you had as an incoming freshman at Farr 2. What does this mean? This means freshmen have an easier time than juniors and seniors. All freshmen have to worry about academically are the required courses that all students take in their first two years, regardless of their major. As they set their schedule, students will begin to make…half of the paper. .....instead of being with that crowd of people, remember to join the clubs that interest you and you can find the people you are meant to be with. Another piece of advice is to try to distance yourself from your high school classmates, as difficult as it may be, you need to leave them behind and find others who attend the same school. This doesn't mean stop talking to them, but remember that there are other people on campus who don't have anyone to hang out with and who might be even better than the people in high school. The social aspect of college is much more important than you might think. Farr 7As you transition to college, remember how to overcome academic, mental, and social challenges. When one does these things he will have a greater chance of success. Jennifer has had to overcome these difficulties, hopefully the incoming freshman is prepared and knows how to react to different situations.
