BYOP

Barbara Schoener, a proudly proclaimed reformed helicopter parent, saw a need to pass on some practical tips when it comes to navigating the very stressful college admissions process and the ensuing journey that commences once a college selection has occurred. A mother of two very different children, almost 6 years apart in age, she found these two journeys had some similarities that remained constant. She felt that a holistic approach to what transpires in the years leading up to setting up camp in a college dorm and then beyond could be beneficial in the hopes of helping ease this transition for other families. Looking back after steering her children in their selections of two very different universities, both several states away from home, this book came to fruition. She hopes that in some small way to be of service. She feels you can actually enjoy this journey, make some great memories along the way while navigating the process that will culminate in one of life's biggest decisions for all involved. Fingers crossed that the right decisions are made all around!
