College students are STRESSED, particularly in their freshman year. This isn’t new news. It’s always been that way.
In an ACHA-National College Health Assessment II national research survey released in 2019, the majority of undergraduates reported stress and anxiety as the top major factors that affected their academic performance negatively. (ACHA, 2019)
In that same study the previous year:
•45% of college students said they felt “more than average” stress
•12.7% said they feel “tremendous stress”

There are many common stressors for students:
•Grades
•Course Loads
•Financial Needs
•Social Pressures
•Homesickness
•Mental Health
•Weight Gain
And, college students today face even more challenges. Added to the normal stressors are the ongoing health concerns, isolation and uncertainly created by COVID-19.
In 2020, 90% of people ages, 18-23, reported EDUCATION as a significant source of stress.
