As much as we’d like to imagine college will be a stress-free paradise filled with perfect relationships and 4.0’s, that’s not always the case. Problems will arise and one of the great lessons of college is how to navigate the potholes on your road to success.

Here's a pro tip: Just ask someone, but do it before the problem snowballs.

For every challenge you encounter, there are countless others who've been there before and survived it. Choose to take advantage of their experience, and don't be shy about doing it and doing it when you first see there may be a problem. 

Rockhurst University wants you to succeed and wants you to be happy. There is a student success network in place to help you get into school, get through school, and find a career.

You can cheer for the Hawks while the Hawks cheer for you.

Whether you’re the first in your family to go to college or the 40th, the resources are there – on campus, off-campus, and online – for you to get the answers you need. Google can help in some areas, but for true solutions in context, seek out assistance within your reach.

Here’s a list of college challenges and where to find help at Rockhurst:
