The document provides scenarios and questions to test readiness for college life. It addresses topics like living with a roommate, partying the night before an exam, staying organized, and dealing with stress. For the roommate scenario about overnight guests and eating snacks, the best response is to talk to the roommate respectfully to set boundaries. For the intoxicated girl at the party, the response is to check on her safety and well-being and make sure she is not left alone. When stressed about finances, grades and homesickness, the response is to seek help from support resources on campus. For the exam vs party scenario, the best choice is to study for a few hours then go to the party later.
