Success in college can be an overwhelming task, filled with challenges like time management, choosing the right major, belonging to a community, and finding a career path. Elliot Felix's "How To Get The Most Out Of College" serves as your comprehensive guide, equipping you with practical strategies and actionable advice to conquer these hurdles and excel in your academic journey. This resource uncovers the reasons why only 65% of college students feel like they belong and 20% drop out in their first year --and what to do about it. Drawing from Felix's extensive experience as an educational consultant to more than 100 colleges, along with data from hundreds of research studies, surveys, and student interviews, the book provides an indispensable roadmap to maximize your college years and set the foundation for future success. The guide goes beyond the basics, shedding light on underrepresented student populations and their unique challenges, including first-generation students, students with children, students with disabilities, LGBTQ+ students, students of color, international students, transfer students, veterans, and student athletes. In an increasingly complex, costly, and competitive academic landscape, this guide addresses key concerns: 1. College Search: Choosing where to go to college based on research into how students succeed in college. 2. College Transition: Making the most of your time in college by trying things out and talking to people before you get there. 3. Academic Excellence: Uncover secrets to choosing your perfect major, balancing coursework and social life, and maintaining an excellent GPA. 4. Social Success: Foster meaningful relationships and navigate diverse social environments, ensuring a well-rounded college experience. 5. Mental Wellbeing: Prioritize your mental health with expert advice on managing stress, anxiety, and depression. 6.
