Early College

DegreeofMaturityChoosing a college often seems like the biggest, most important decision teens and parents will make together. But what happens when your teen is only 13 or 14 – or not even a teenager yet at all? Early college is becoming more common, but it is still a major leap, and it can be hard to know if it is right for your student and your family. Even once the choice has been made to move forward, being an early college student can be overwhelming, scary, and sometimes lonely.
