UT UGS Course for Handling College Life as a New Student

The Issue

Many incoming students from high school have no clue what they're doing when they walk into college life. Bad habits or lack of knowledge dig us into deep holes where we're in the midway point of being dependents and adults, and as a result, it causes a heavy amount of stress, and leads to a lot of uncertainty. I believe we need a UGS course dedicated entirely to just teaching students how to transition into being independent adults in their lives. Anything ranging from part-time jobs and rent, to self scheduling, planning, and self care. Learning that it's going to be okay, and that your GPA isn't everything is important. New students get swallowed up by life, and sometimes all they need is a little help.
