For families, this is a major transition, as the student leaves home, perhaps for the first time, to pursue new adventures in a new setting. This handbook contains advice, important information, and activities for you to complete as you go through the college search, application, and admissions processes. Examine it carefully, as there are sections on just about every aspect of the college admissions process!
