Coping In College

Starting college is a time of significant transition in life. Adjusting to college is difficult, as you learn to be independent and “adult” for the first time.

Remember, if you need guidance or are struggling, you are not alone, and there are many resources out there to help you, some of which are included below. The Alumni Program Manager at Cristo Rey Jesuit is also here for you, so do not hesitate to reach out to them, using their contact information provided below.
