How to College: What to Know Before You Go (and When You're There)The first practical guide of its kind that helps students transition smoothly from high school to college The transition from high school and home to college can be stressful. Students and parents often arrive on campus unprepared for what college is really like. Academic standards and expectations are different from high school; families aren't present to serve as "scaffolding" for students; and first years have to do what they call "adulting."

The first practical guide of its kind that helps students transition smoothly from high school to college

The transition from high school--and home--to college can be stressful. Students and parents often arrive on campus unprepared for what college is really like. Academic standards and expectations are different from high school; families aren't present to serve as "scaffolding" for students; and first-years have to do what they call "adulting." Nothing in the college admissions process prepares students for these new realities.

As a result, first-year college students report higher stress, more mental health issues, and lower completion rates than in the past. In fact, up to one third of first-year college students will not return for their second year--and colleges are reporting an increase in underprepared first-year students.

How to College is here to help. Professors Andrea Malkin Brenner and Lara Schwartz guide first-year students and their families through the transition process, during the summer after high school graduation and throughout the school year, preparing students to succeed and thrive as they transition and adapt to college. The book draws on the authors' experience teaching, writing curricula, and designing programs for thousands of first-year college students over decades.

Favorite toy of all time
Color: Red
I have had my dog for 12 years and this is truly the BEST toy I’ve ever bought her (and I’ve bought probably hundreds). I squish the soft-style treats into the holes and it keeps her occupied for a good chunk of time. She loves it. I usually do it multiple times a day with a few different types of treats. She is an extremely aggressive chewer and has never damaged this toy. Now that she’s older I’m especially appreciate of this toy because it keeps her brain active and gives her something to do when she’s not feeling up to a walk.

Tough toy but even tougher to get clean!
Color: Red
My puppy is an aggressive chewer and he was only semi-interested in this toy. It hasn't been my favorite, either, due to it being pretty difficult to clean thoroughly. The toy is, however, very durable and its thick rubber has held up to the many bounces on hard floors and tough chew sessions it's been subjected to over the past few months.

A pup favorite and has held up well!
Color: Yellow
My adult dogs really like this treat feeder and love working to get the goodies out of it! It’s held up well over many months despite their biting and gnawing on it, so a good purchase overall. It’s also different than the usual Kongs so adds some variety to their feeder puzzle repertoire to keep up the diversity of mental stimulation.

Not tough enough
Color: Red
Finding durable chew toys for my pup is a challenge. When I placed a medium dog biscuit inside this, it kept him busy for awhile. But then I noticed small pieces of the toy around the house and discovered that he had managed to shred it. I've since discarded it and continue to search for toys guaranteed to be safe for "aggressive chewers".

Loves it
Color: Red
He loves this thing. He was able to chew some pieces off, but otherwise it is very durable. He likes to bounce it around to get treats out of the middle and the holes on the sides is where additional treats can be placed. It washes up fairly easy . Perfect size for my 40 pound dog
