Being in college means having significant unstructured time, with a seemingly endless menu of activities from which to choose. For many students, this can be challenging.

Going off to college is a right of passage for approximately 62 percent of high school seniors. But not every high school senior is ready for college. And this often leads to havoc once these students arrive on campus and become immersed in life away from home.
