Students scramble for classes and good grades, not to mention on-campus housing, parking space, friends, and dates.
Stress is the way our bodies react to sudden drastic demands.
Students face many stress-inducing pressures such as choosing a major, finding privacy, fighting homesickness, and adjusting to a new environment and responsibilities. Personal, work and social commitments demand time and energy, and there never seems to be enough time to accomplish everything. The amount of stress each of us can handle differs from person to person. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it becomes harmful. It weakens the person's immune system, thus increasing the chances of getting sick.
