Talk isn't cheap.
Research has found that parents can have a powerful influence on a student's successful transition to college life. Talk to your student about alcohol and cannabis/marijuana before they start college, and keep talking to them while they’re here. Your input matters — and helps UNO set the trend for responsible use of alcohol and abstaining from cannabis/marijuana.
As a parent, you have already done a great job helping your student make better choices. However, your responsibility doesn’t stop just because they’re headed to college. Studies have shown that college students give parents a great deal of credit for guiding them towards less drinking or abstaining from drinking and cannabis/marijuana.
