Abstract

This book chapter delves into the multifaceted impact of the high school to college transition on students' well-being, personal growth, and resilience. As adolescents embark on this significant life change, they encounter a myriad of challenges that shape their psychological and emotional landscape. The chapter scrutinizes the emotional toll of this transition, exploring the stressors and anxieties that students commonly face as they navigate the unfamiliar terrain of college life. Moreover, it investigates how the transition acts as a crucible for personal growth, fostering self-discovery, independence, and the cultivation of essential life skills. The authors emphasize the pivotal role of resilience-building during this period, shedding light on the strategies and support systems that contribute to students' ability to overcome adversity. Drawing on psychological theories and empirical studies, the chapter provides valuable insights into the nuanced interplay between the high school to college transition and the holistic development of students.
