This means families need to begin preparing early, gathering recommendations and booking assessments well before deadlines. Without planning ahead, it\u2019s easy to miss a window.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">3.

Students need to adapt to living away from home, managing schedules, and joining a new community.
