Going to college represents major life transitions for both parents and the student. Students face unique challenges on campus, and so do the families and communities supporting students. You may experience a wide range of emotions about them settling into their newly discovered or ongoing independence.
Often, family concerns are associated with the students’ academic success, ability to adjust to a new environment, managing their independence, developing their own support network on campus, taking care of their mental health needs, and adjusting to your changing relationship.
Our goal is to provide answers and appropriate support while we assist students in managing the many life changes they experience at SUNY Buffalo State.
