Roughly 2.5 million college students every year transfer to a different school. Statistics from the United States Department of Education suggest that close to 60% of college students will attend more than one school before they graduate. While many students find just the right college and stay there for four years, these statistics suggest that there is a good chance that your college student may consider a transfer to another college at some point during his college career.
Everybody is talking about the rising cost of college tuition and the resulting student loan debt that America’s college students are accumulating. Parents and students are wringing their hands and complaining loudly, while many politicians are placing blame and passing the buck.
For at least 18 years, you have probably considered yourself to be your student’s principal advisor. You have been there every step of the way, literally from the first steps taken, and then on to the first words spoken, the first tests taken, and the first degrees granted. You probably didn’t have any “training” to be a parent, but somehow you figured it out.
