Surviving College

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Feb. 22, 2012) — Kentucky students headed to college in the fall have a new resource to help them through their first year on campus.

Surviving College, a guide to students’ first year, is now available free from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).

The 36-page booklet includes the following sections:

·         Majors and class schedules;

·         Staying healthy and safe on campus;

·         Learning styles and study tips;

·         Campus life; and

·         Financial basics.

      “Getting students enrolled in college or technical school is only half the battle,” said Susan Hopkins, KHEAA’s director of outreach services. “Once they arrive on campus, we want to make sure they have the tools they need to survive, thrive and complete their program of study.”
