On the Scene

The results of the Cooperative Instutional Research Program 2010 Freshman Survey, which were released last month, revealed that college students’ emotional health is at an all-time low. The report, which included the results of surveys completed by more than 200,000 first-time, full-time students at 279 U.S. colleges and universities,  listed factors including gender, finanical concerns, economic and political influences and disabilities, as contributors to stress. What do you think stresses students the most?
