Most people think that getting ready to start college classes means buying a textbook and reading a syllabus. In reality, entering college is like entering a whole new world with new expectations and ways to interact and grow. The transition is rarely easy, but you can take ownership of your experience in college.

Make College Yours: Mindsets and Methods for College Success is designed for students in First Year Experience or similar courses at the college level. This text combines evidence-based instructional content with insightful anecdotes from students of varying backgrounds. In this book, you'll find personal stories of college students grappling with the same problems and issues you'll grapple with, stories that are as relatable as they are complex.

In these pages, you'll find lots of helpful lessons about the basics of starting college, like:

- Improving study skills - Combating test anxiety - Being a good group member - Developing a growth mindset - Making campus connections - Becoming an active learner

Make College Yours goes way beyond the basics, too. This book will also teach you about major life skills, including:

- Learning to persist through difficult times - Managing negative emotions - Understanding personal agency - Making wise choices - Taking responsibility for your own growth - Overcoming procrastination
