Healthy Relationships

College is a time of transition and growth, not just academically, but also personally and socially. Being in a new environment with new people can result in a deeper understanding of yourself and how you relate to others. Having healthy relationships platonically, romantically, and potentially sexually can be exciting part of the college experience, but it often takes time and practice to navigate new social connections.
