Organizing Residence Hall Rooms
What’s the difference between a residence hall room that’s a hovel and one that’s a haven?

Cough Medicine Abuse
Dextromethorphan (DXM) is a substance found in more than 100 over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicines. And now more and more students are taking it for recreational purposes, potentially causing serious damage to their bodies and brains.

When students head to college, their values will be tested. Decisions about a variety of things, from alcohol to intimacy to how to spend their time, will come up daily.

New Student Issues
“I’m Leaving for School in a Few Short Weeks!”-Related Issues

It’s likely hitting your student now… he’s heading to college in a few weeks. With that revelation will likely come some excitement—and some anxiety—regarding topics such as:

  • Will people like me?
  • Will I find friends as good as the ones I have here at home?
  • How can I reinvent myself?
  • Will I be able to handle college academics?
  • How will I find my way around campus?
  • Who will I turn to if I’m struggling?
  • Will I still be as connected to my family/friends?
  • What if I don’t get along with my roommate?
  • Will people make fun of how I talk/dress/act?
  • What’s it going to be like sharing a bathroom with other students?
  • How will I fit all my stuff into that campus room?
  • How will I get involved?
  • Will my diversity make me a target?
  • Will I find a place to belong here?
