College students today find it harder to transition into adulthood than their peers from previous generations. While they are well prepared academically, they are increasingly reluctant to assume independent lives. As a result, taking a leave of absence from college has become common. However, what these young adults do during this time off can make the difference between ultimately returning to school or not. Ascent NYC is here to help.

 

Ascent NYC is a multidisciplinary coaching and educational enrichment program on the Upper West Side designed to help get college-aged students back on track. Ascent NYC is a team of behavioral health, rehabilitation, and education professionals who provide the tools and skills these students need to transition back to college life successfully. 

 

Ascent NYC programming is based on research-proven methods to help young adults regain a sense of agility and swiftly respond to unpredictable environments. Ascent NYC’s sole mission is to help its clients get back on their toes, leaning forward and ready to go back to school.

 

An unexpected leave of absence from college is disruptive for the student and their family. Understanding what to do next can be scary and confusing to navigate. Ascent NYC is here to help.

 

You can get more information about the program at www.AscentNYC.com

What’s wrong with kids these days? The thought of disappointing my parents not to mention placing additional financial burden on them was enough to get me “back on track” when I went to college. I wouldn’t dare take a semester off to “find myself”.

Maybe try to have some compassion even if you don’t understand it. You have to assume people are doing their best.
