Newsletter - June 2018

Greetings!Here's the latest from my desk:

• Adjusting to College LifeUnderstanding the most common challenges reported by freshmen – and what to do about them -- can make the transition to college life go more smoothly for both students and their parents.
• Majoring in Landscape ArchitectureIf you’re creative, interested in the environment and science, and enjoy working with people, landscape architecture may be just the career for you.
• Talking to Your Kids About MoneyThey use gift cards, credit cards, debit cards and apps such as Venmo and PayPal. Money, the green stuff, is not a meaningful part of many teenagers’ lives. Before your child leaves for college, a conversation about finances is in order.
• How Movies Can Help You Write Better Application EssaysThe best college application essay, don’t merely tell what happened to you; they also let admission officers understand why what happened matters. To do that in 650 words or less you need to think like a screenwriter.
