College is a happy experience for most students, however, college life can have its rough times and problems. While each person's problems are unique to their specific situation, there are some issues that almost all college students deal with at least once during their academic career. In my latest report, I share some tips and strategies that can help your student have a successful college career.
Up to 80% of first year students are unsure of their major choice. Most students think that their major will dictate their future career and how much money they will make in a job.
Sometimes students have an unrealistic expectation that they can juggle a job and school. After awhile, students can start to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and hopeless.
Whether students want to admit it or not, most do get homesick. This is especially common for students who go to a school that is more than 3 hours from their home or out of state.

Our son started working with Tina his second year in college, and we've been amazed by what they have accomplished. Not only has Tina helped advise him on personal issues like roommates and girlfriends, she has helped him develop strategies that enabled him to discover what he wants to accomplish with his life.
