Your New College Student
The beginning of a college career marks many changes in students and their relationships with parents, family, and friends. It can also mean changes in beliefs, values, behaviors, and attitudes. Macalester College believes that parents and family members provide a crucial support base for the new experiences of their student. Understanding and adjusting to these changes is an exciting challenge for both students and parents. We hope information provided in this section will help you prepare for, and adjust to, these changes.
