In the twelve years since its initial publication, The Freshman Survival Guide has helped tens of thousands of first year students make a successful transition to college life. However, much has changed on campuses. Culture changes, the ubiquity of social media, and the arrival of “hybrid” or remote learning have all added new layers of complexity to the leap from high school to college. The Freshman Survival Guide‘s newest updated edition features new research on issues such as mental health, sexual assault, and finding balance. It also features expanded sections on:
- gender and race relations on campus,
- online learning,
- dating,
- and money management.
