By: Monique RinereAfter all the testing and touring and applying, your child has been accepted to college. Congratulations! Now what?
Every new student grapples with making a successful transition to college—with remaining healthy, happy, grounded, and in school. Indeed, the national statistics are sobering: One in three freshmen will not come back for sophomore year, and less than 50 percent will graduate on time. A student’s adjustment is key, especially during the period starting with the lazy summer months before move-in and ending at the dizzying close of a student’s first semester. Distilling lessons and sharing stories (some cautionary, some entertaining, all helpful) from her long college advisory career, three-time Ivy League dean Monique Rinere presents a unique month-by-month road map to a college experience that is rich, rewarding, and successful for teens and parents alike. Taking parents from the moment the acceptances arrive to the end of the first college semester, her expert advice covers:
• assessing the right fit among your child’s options: who and what to ask to get the real scoop on campus and academic life
• understanding actual costs: considering hidden expenses, financial-aid and scholarship fine print, loans, and work-study opportunities
• parenting through the senior slump so that students don’t jeopardize their hard-won college spot
• talking to your child about freshman culture shock and their new freedoms around parties, food, finances, and sleep
• what your child needs to know about working with an academic advisor, interacting with professors, and creating their own community of advisors
• how to help your rising freshman create a conceptual bridge from what they are, a graduating high school senior, to what they want to be, a college alum
• time-management and class-scheduling tips to help your child pick an appropriate class (and extracurricular) load
• advice for parents facing the emptying nest: letting go of your anxieties about your child’s autonomy and seizing this opportunity to reinvent your life in new and intentional ways
“A valuable and comprehensive guide for parents of college-bound students . . . The months between high school and college are a critical time, but Dr. Monique Rinere gives you confidence that everything will be all right.”—Marvin Krislov, president, Pace University

Denim like fabric with some padding
Size: 14 inch, Color: Bright Rose
Adequate for the job. I wanted something bright colored and padded to hold my laptop safely in my carryon.

Sleek, Durable Laptop Sleeve That Punches Above Its Price
Size: 13.3 inch, Color: Red
Right out of the box the sleeve felt premium—sleek exterior, soft interior lining, smooth zipper—and it’s held up flawlessly through daily use with no pilling or wear. My 13‑inch MacBook slides in snugly without adding bulk, and the padding gave me real confidence after I accidentally knocked the bag off a chair and the laptop came out unscathed. The front pocket fits my charger, hub, and other small accessories neatly, making it practical for coffee‑shop days, though I do wish it had a grab handle, but it is ok. For the price, this sleeve delivers excellent protection and finish that rivals much more expensive options.

Triple Check Your Measurements. No Margin For Error.
Size: 15 inch, Color: Space Gray
Exterior is exactly 15" wide making for a snug fit of my 14 1/8" laptop. This snug fit was what I was looking for. Any tighter and it wouldn't fit at all. The material is of good quality and the lining is soft. The padding is minimal but should be adequate for everyday use. First impressions are this is a very good quality sleeve. Time will tell.

13.3-inch bag is too big for a 13-inch Surface Pro 11
Size: 13.3 inch, Color: Gray
The bag is very good, but I am returning the 13.3-inch size bag, as it is too big for a Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (13-inch screen). I should have done a bit more digging through the description to realize the size. It would have been better if the pictures showed actual inner dimensions. I have just ordered a 12.3-inch bag. The smaller bag should be adequate.
EDIT: The 12.3 inch bag came in. This bag is perfect for Surface Pro. Great fit! The front pocket holds the power brick and a small mouse, and a bit more space for flash drive or similar.

Nice color and good quality
Size: 14 inch, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 14 inch, Color: Navy Blue
I had originally bought this for my work laptop (MacBook) and it fit perfectly. But now I use it for my personal which is a 13.3in MacBook Air. I like the feeling of the case. I have a crack on my screen and I feel like this case offers more cushion than my previous one. I wouldn’t say this would save my laptop from a fall but I feel more confident as it’s in my bag that it’s getting enough protection. I also like the color and it’s spacious enough to hold a laptop charger, note pad, pens, etc.
