| Self-Care and Mental Health | Understanding the importance of maintaining mental health amidst college pressures is crucial. Are they aware of the campus resources available for mental health support? Practicing self-care to manage stress, especially during exams or major projects, is essential. |
| Adapting to College-Level Academics | Are they prepared for the independence and self-motivation required in college courses? Knowing how to seek help from professors or academic advisors when struggling is essential. Utilizing study groups and campus tutoring services can also be beneficial. |
