understanding the sources of stress among them and how they can cope with the stress is
very important. Leaving the family home, feeling intense pressure to obtain high grades in
connection with career aspirations, taking final exams, trying to establish a social life, dealing
with (often very high) costs of college and possibly working at a job during the school year.
