Support Services in College (academic & social)
It may be scary going off to college all by yourself, but there are many resources you may use to benefit you in the long run. Stress level may increase your first year by a lot, but it's up to you to find something that will help you concentrate or even help you get the material. There are short time periods that we have in college so making sure you get it and being able to manage the work load can be difficult or you can decide to get help. When looking for help there are many sources that you can find right on your school campus. There are many things that we heard first hand from students that either went through that much stress or still going through it currently which you see listed below.
