Freshmen struggling to adjust to college life is not unheard of — between changing environments, harder classes and busier schedules, it is only natural to feel isolated. This struggle isn’t just limited to freshmen, though. There are many upperclassmen who may feel disconnected from campus life but have no idea how to gain that connection.

Students who face these struggles may think that they have to suffer alone. The reality is that services are available, and students just have to make the effort to find them. One of the specific services offered on campus is peer mentoring. Peer mentors are available in the Fant Memorial Library to help students through difficult course material in a variety of subjects. However, peer mentoring is not as simple as subject specific tutoring.
