Assignment:
During this lesson you have been discussing some of the differences between high school and college. Many community colleges, colleges, and universities provide a wide range of supports, but they may look very different than what you have experienced in the past. Additionally, some types of resources and supports that you have used in the past may simply not be available in postsecondary settings. In these situations, you will need to go to college with a plan for how to address this change.
