"Next month, 20 million students will go to college — more than 3 million of them for the first time. Parents can help. Lynn F. Jacobs and Jeremy S. Hyman, authors of the upcoming book The Secrets of College Success
, offer their five top tips for parents of college-bound students:
1. Web-surf the college. Go to the website of the school your child will be attending and, together, explore the academic side of things.
