EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING

Being attentive to your emotional well-being is crucial to facilitating academic and life success. Increased levels of anxiety and stress in college are normal, and you may experience it differently from others.

  • Understanding the differences between stress, anxiety and positive pressure, and recognizing that a small level of anxiety is normal and can be motivating.
