Whether you’re a senior in high school or the parent of one, there’s a lot to prepare for ahead of the first year of college. There are many due dates and serious conversations that need to be had, and sometimes it can be overwhelming. The important thing to know is that you do not have to go through this alone, and there are many resources to help guide you along your journey in higher education.
