But it also covers what no checklist does: the real-life skills your student needs to actually thrive once they’re on campus. Parents, it takes the “did we forget something?” off your plate. Students, it helps you walk in feeling ready instead of scrambling. Don’t wait until move-in week to figure this out. Grab the roadmap link in the show notes and download it right now.
