Work, family, friends and travel are all possible sources of stress for commuting students. In addition to the unique problems of attending a commuter college, there are the problems of adjusting to college life in general. Learning how to meet the study and time demands of college level courses is one such problem. Another is that of learning how to deal with people whose values and opinions on drugs, sex and religion differ from your values and opinions. In addition, students often find they are no longer able to obtain high grades they earned in high school.
Students often begin to question their choice of major or career.
If you are experiencing any of the stresses aforementioned, stop in and ask to make an appointment to speak with a professional counselor in 1303 James Hall. All services are free and confidential.
