Introduction

This handbook will help first time college students discover new techniques, ways of thinking, as well as find resources that could help them while they are students at the University of New England. We understand that becoming a freshman in college can be tough and we want to help you as much as we can. We want first year college students to understand that it’s okay to be nervous about coming here and that we have had to overcome the same struggles at some point in our college careers. We also want to teach them that they are not alone, they have access to so many resources that can help them with almost anything from school life to looking forward into their career after college to even helping pick the correct classes and major. But in reality this handbook can be used by any student that is looking for new ways of looking for help or just to remind themselves what they can do differently.
