The Research Study:
We asked the
experts.
We asked over 600 current college students to think
back to their own high school-to-college transition.
Specific questions included:
- What was the the biggest change from high school to
college?
- What was the biggest thing you really
thought you were prepared for... but found out you were not?
- What
surprised you most about the academics?
- What
surprised you most about the new social scene?
We also asked Christian college students to help us understand how
their faith was impacted:
- How was
your faith challenged?
- What advice would you give an incoming college freshman on keeping their faith?
