Offer advice and encourage them to gather as much information as possible to make an appropriate decision. • Give them their space. Many aspects of college life are new and require learning and adjustments by students, such as knowing how to contact professors and faculty advisors, getting to know their roommate and the culture of the campus. Open and regular communication is important, but be sure to give them room to explore and become familiar with the many facets of their new surroundings. Students may miss home early on, and ongoing support is important as they continue to realize their freedom and independence. Encourage the use of resources on campus to support them, such as Resident Assistants, New Student Leaders, faculty and staff, and faculty advisors. • Send care packages! Each student has a campus mailbox and parents/guardians can send a card or package any time throughout the semester.
