High school students spend years taking classes that will help them deal with the challenges of college courses. But according
to a new national survey, most freshmen were unprepared for campus in one important way: emotionally.
The First Year College Experience survey, conducted by three organizations The JED Foundation,
Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, and The Jordan Porco Foundation, found that 60 percent of freshmen
said they wished they had "more help getting emotionally ready for college."
Emotional preparedness referred to the ability to take care of oneself, learn to grow in new environments, control unpleasant
emotions or behavior and build good relationships. It was closely linked to the success of a
student’s freshman year. The survey of 1,502 college freshmen showed that those who felt less
emotionally prepared for college had lower GPAs and would more probably say that their first
year experience was "terrible."
Researchers pointed out that teachers and parents put emphasis on preparing high school students for exams and college-level
classes, but did not prepare them for life away at college. They recommended teaching students
life skills, such as managing time, money, sleep, eating habits, and relationships.
