Typical Concerns

College students typically encounter anxiety and stress (i.e., academic, interpersonal, family, work, financial) during the course of their educational experience. While individuals cope successfully with these demands most of the time, there are times when they can benefit from our caring, supportive staff. Typical concerns from students who seek assistance from us include:

•   Developmental/Family Issues - Fear and guilt, anger, frustration, family   crisis, concerns from childhood or adolescence, divorce.
  
•   Personal Issues - Anxiety, loneliness, depression, anger, guilt, low self-  esteem.
  
•   Relationship Issues - Roommate problems, boyfriend/girlfriend difficulties,   marital issues, sexual concerns.
  
•   Tension/Stress - Physical complaints such as insomnia, headache, fatigue,   digestive problems, and academic concerns (i.e., test anxiety, poor study   habits or performance).
  
•   Other Issues - Drugs and alcohol, food preoccupation, crisis pregnancy,   sexual assault.

The list above is not meant to be comprehensive. If students have concerns other than the ones listed, the staff is available and willing to talk with them about their concerns.
