We asked parents of current students for their best advice to parents of members of the Class of 2030 who will soon begin their Lehigh journey. We will post a few each day for the next few days. Here's what they recommend.
🌟 Encourage your student to attend PreLUsion, a pre-orientation program.
“Students sign up for it (it is an extra cost) and come a few days before regular freshman move-in. They have all kinds of options for students to pick from. It made moving in very simple, and my son just told me that most of his friends he still had at the end of the year came from his prelusion.”
🌟 Encourage your adult child to advocate for themselves.
“Let them struggle, make mistakes if needed and learn how to navigate the system (reach out to professors, meet with advisors, etc). We did that for all 3 of our kids from an early age, and it decreases their stress and anxiety when they know they can solve their own problems.”
Look for more advice tomorrow!
