Fortunately, Shepherd College offers many outlets to express your feelings in confidence. Residence Assistants are available on each wing of every residence hall. These students are there to provide you with information and to lend a sympathetic ear. If you do not feel comfortable talking with your RA for any reason, then there are other services available to you. The Health Center, located on the bottom floor of Gardiner Hall, offers professional counseling services.
All matters discussed here are of course confidential.
If you are more comfortable talking with someone your own age, the members of the International Student Union can be a great source of comfort. It is important to remember that every college student experiences this feeling from time to time, and members of ISU can identify more closely than anyone. Feel free to explore all the options until you find one that suits you best. Each separate class at Shepherd College is assigned a 'Credit Hour' rating. This number denotes how difficult the class is and how much time is expected to be placed in to the course.
