There is so much attention placed on getting into college — but what happens after your student arrives?In this parent-focused episode of “I Didn’t Know That!”, we look at the questions families should be asking about academic support, advising, tutoring, accessibility services, mental-health and wellness resources, career preparation, faculty support, and the people students can turn to when they need help.We also talk about an important part of the college transition: understanding when parents can step in, when students need to advocate for themselves, and how families can identify campuses that truly provide strong support before making a final college decision.If you are the parent or guardian of a high school student preparing for college, this episode can help you look beyond rankings, majors, dorms, and acceptance rates — and start asking the questions that can make a major difference in your student’s college experience.Because sometimes the most important college information makes you say:“I didn’t know that!”
