Beat Stress in College

Content: The American Psychological Association reports 45% of students seeking help in college are doing so because of stress. Anxiety and depression are also among the top reasons and often are related to their stressors. There are at least five major areas of stress in a college student’s life. These are discussed below in more detail. Financial Stress
Every student has concerns about finances. They worry about how they will pay for classes, how they will repay loans, and how they will pay for housing and necessities while living on very little income. Even those students who have parents covering the full cost of college stress over money. Most students do not want to burden their parents with the cost of college, but they know they need financial help. This can lead to the student feeling guilty about spending their parents’ money, so they take out more financial aid. Students graduate from college with a loan debt from $25,000 to $125,000 or more.
