what could be majors stressors of a student?

Question

What factore can cause stress in a student?

Answer 1

Lots of things. Aside from the usual - trying to balance work, school, and social or family life, difficult classes, financial concerns, a sense of responsibility to their family who are sacrificing a lot for them to be there, I've had students with major health crises, students who lost loved ones (just this semester, I know of one whose boyfriend died and one whose brother was killed in a car accident, along with several who lost friends), students who were raped or otherwise attacked, etc. The same stressors which hit the rest of the population apply to students.

Answer 2

Being OVERWHELMED is the number 1 stressor. Some students take on a full course load not knowing for each class you need at least 4 hours of study time. That is almost impossible if you have to work full time as well.

Answer 3

Top five sources of stress are change in sleeping habits, vacations/breaks, change in eating habits, increased work load, and new responsibilities.
College students, especially freshmen are a group particularly prone to stress due to the transitional nature of college life. They must adjust to being away from home for the first time, maintain a high level of academic achievement, and adjust to a new social environment.

Answer 4

Course load, difficulty of class, trying to strike a balance between college fun and studying, relationships, being independent for the first time, learning new responsibilities as an independent -- credit cards, renting a house/apt, car, grocery shopping & cooking, paying utilities, budgeting money, getting a part time job. List goes on.

Answer 5

Too much homework to do or having several projects. When I am stressed about school it's becasue I have a lot of homework to think about doing. Also when i have more than one projesct at a time.

Answer 6

There is NO reason for a student to have stress if they keep up with their studies and homework.
