One of the health centers biggest
concerns is stress. This is because stress itself isn't bad, but because it
leads to illness and has many detrimental side effects. Some major stressors of
freshman include- leaving home for the first time, forming new relationships,
the desire to succeed, and managing finances. All freshmen will encounter at
least one of these stressors. Stress can weaken the immune system making people
more prone to illness such as colds or the flu. Other symptoms include: feeling
fatigued, being disorganized, changes in eating habits, and forgetfulness. These
can lead to poor grades and poor health which is obviously not wanted on
campus.
