Seasonal Student Issues #49
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 schedules
  
• 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
