Seasonal Student Issues
There's a seasonal ebb and flow when it comes to student issues. Here are a few things your student may be experiencing as the school year gets started:

• Getting adjusted to college life for the first time (or once again) — feelings of loneliness and homesickness
• Worries about being able to handle academic pressures and schedule
• Anxiety about perceived restrictions of campus policies
• Roommate adjustments & conflicts
• Money management struggles
• Experimentation with drugs and alcohol
• International students may feel confusion, vulnerability and lack of advocacy
• Lack of social life and lots of questions about how to get involved in new activities
