Students in their second year of college are often let down as they don鈥檛 receive the same fanfare they did the year before, classes get harder, and what they thought were solid friendships start to shift. Sophomores can struggle, but what about the parents, family members and supporters of these students? You may find your sophomore questioning things they have always been so certain of and maybe even asking you questions you don鈥檛 know how to answer. This might be something big, like wanting to change from a pre-med major to visual arts, or something minor, like joining the rock-climbing club when they鈥檝e always expressed a fear of heights.

• Chapters written by professionals in family engagement, mental health, study abroad, career services and second-year experience.
• Expert-written content that will help you as a college parent to guide your student on their journey with information, resources, and conversation starters.
