College Life and the COLLEGE Y.O.D.A Difference

A process of continuous support and guidance

that extends far beyond the traditional "congratulations, you're in!”

Unlike many services that wave goodbye once a student enrolls, College Y.O.D.A. stays with our students as they transition into college life.

We help students navigate the complexities of adulting and executive function skills that aren’t often taught or modeled — skills that have become even more elusive in the post-COVID world, where many students lost valuable developmental time.

From connecting with professors to managing time and responsibilities, we equip students with tools like the 5-5-5 method to help them evaluate decisions over time.

We introduce business concepts including Opportunity Cost and Return on Investment (ROI) to give them a practical perspective on their education.

It's about building a lasting relationship to ensure students

not only get into college but thrive once they're there.
