Seasonal Student Issues #6
There's a seasonal ebb and flow when it comes to student issues. Here are a few things your student may be experiencing this month:

• first year students begin to realize college life is not as perfect as they were expecting it to be
• diversity issues become very apparent as students begin interacting with others who are very different from them
• conflicts between friends — both new and old — can occur as students settle into rhythm of the new academic year
• feeling behind in class work and wanting more contact with instructors
• anticipating mid-terms and questioning their abilities
• job panic of mid-year graduates as the realization settles in that they will be graduating soon
