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.
