Relationships

|
College is not a lot different than life in general. Relationships are both the best and worst part of life. What is different about college relationships is that they can either make you or break you as the old saying goes. Good relationships keep you focused as you and your friends will encourage each other to work hard but still have fun. Many of the friendships college students form last a lifetime.
However, a bad relationship with a professor or a roomate can ruin a semester--and this too can last a lifetime. What do you do when this happens? College Transition Group can teach you!
Research and common sense
demonstrates that frequent and favorable contact with professors is
a particularly strong component in student persistence and success.
In fact, at private colleges--where such contact is more common--graduation
rates are significantly higher than at public colleges. There are effective
ways to develop positive 
relationships with both professors and peers.
Not developing positive relationships leads to social isolation. Social isolation, not grades, is the number one predictor of student withdrawal from college.
College Transition Group guides college students in how to have healthy relationships in college. Of particular interest is conflict resolution and how to find friends (and perhaps that "special someone") who will make each college day just a little brighter.
