SEASONAL Student Issues #37 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:
- 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 and 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
