By Timothy M Lucik

Going off to college can be a difficult time for new students. For first time college students, the constant change, new environment, and freedom makes the transition overwhelming. Due to these factors, it often takes students a few semesters to get their bearings and set themselves up for success. But what if they didn't have to take all that time to learn the best practices? What if they could avoid the learning curve and start out their college careers on the right track? Away from the Nest does just that This book serves as the guide for any incoming freshman who wants college to be a fruitful time from the beginning. It contains the wisdom and practices of mentors, teachers, students, and parents who have gone before. Away from the Nest gives students a template to follow as they establish themselves in college. It contains practical tips on setting up productive routines, acing tests and quizzes, and even how to avoid the "freshman fifteen." In addition, it arms students with a unique perspective on education, a practical way to deal with new ideas, and a smarter approach to coping with the stress of college life. Each chapter in the book describes a successful practice or philosophy and provides recommended action steps. Along with the details and applications, each chapter provides an example of what to avoid regarding the practice. Together, these three parts provide a solid foundation for any student. Cut the learning curve of college. Maximize your potential. Make college a life changing experience
