Many freshman enter college bright eyed and bushy tailed. Eager to start a new section of their lives, they can only imagine the good times and friends that wait just beyond the reach of their parents.
What they may not imagine, however, is the college work load. As the school year gains momentum and classes begin to pick up, are freshman prepared to handle the academic pressures of school? Several new students have spoken to me about the pressure to perform with little guidance from their professors or advisors. Many workshops and even courses had been created in the past to help assist with this transition, but those tools seem to be a thing of the past. In particular, the university previously offered a course called ID 101, or the Dominican Experience. This 1 credit course featured different college survival tips and an introduction to the school.
Unfortunately, this course is no longer offered. What is the school doing now to help the freshman succeed in the college world?
