The transition from high school to college can be stressful for several reasons and for just about anyone. Nikki Koppel agreed, “college can be a very tough place — people think it’s a magical, romantic experience but for kids who have a tough time connecting and fi nding their people, there’s not a lot of magic there.” h But the house at 37 Fruit St. is expected to make it easier for them. Koppel described it as “very homey so our kids arriving will do better and have a more positive outcome during this transition to college, knowing they have a commu nity that supports them.” It’s a welcoming dorm for college students — and much more.
