Description

This study examined how stressors differentially affect students across four class standings (i.e. first-year, sophomore, junior, senior). The ten most frequently reported stressors were roommate and living arrangement; money; grades and course work; family, friends and romantic relationships; health; time management; and plans after graduation. The highest reported stressors for students across all four academic class standings were money, course work, grades, and post-graduation plans. In addition, juniors and seniors reported post-graduation plans as a greater stressor than first-year students and sophomores. This information could be used to better develop classes to meet student needs.
