College days, well this have myriad fond memories, fun, entertainment an those lovely experiences you have in its basket, they always remain embedded in your mind. But hold on, it also has rough patches in its store. If you are on your way into college you might want to get a jump on how to deal with the 10 Common Problems Students Face During College. If you are reading for the sake of remembrance, I would ask that you try and throw a few good memories into the mix as you plod through the problems that once plagued you in your college days.

10.  Health Issues

 With heightened levels of stress and lack of sleep, health problems can occur. Living in close quarters in dorms also poses potential health risks and increases a student’s chances of contracting some sort of virus or other sickness. Some student become bookworms and avoid extracurricular activities make them vulnerable to many disease. 

9. Money

Tuition costs are rising at alarmingly high rates. Besides, your expenses ltself like shopping trips, gas for the car, and the price of textbooks, and you have a college student’s worst nightmare. College students drop out of school each year because they cannot afford it. Others are forced to juggle full schedules with full time jobs to make ends meet. It is becoming increasingly harder for students to graduate debt-free. 

8. Partying

Partying in itself really is not a problem. Parties were designed so that attendees could have a good time. However, many of the parties that go on at colleges today have the potential to cause problems. At many parties alcohol, drugs, and sex rule the night. Alcohol can lead to drunkenness and potentially deadly situations. 

7. Depression

 Most of the problems on here has seemed quite dismal. These problems raise the stress levels of students. Some find relief in partying, and others (even some who party) find themselves getting depressed from their problems. 

6. Friends / Roommates

Friends and roommates are usually good for a good time. However, they can get on each others nerves at times. There are clashes when you are unable to adjust with your roommates. Quite common, misunderstanding among friends eventually turns into a headache and you fall into arguments. You always experience not-so-good friends who take advantage of your innocence and cheat on you.

5. Relationships

Many of us tend to find a person who has that extra special place in our heart during our college days. Without any question, the whole idea of discovering love is not like a bed of roses. Even when you are able to find one, there are times in every relationships where a couple will have a disagreement or issue. Disagreements between couples can distract students from their school work and add to already high stress levels. Break-ups can drive some students even further into depression. 

4. Homesickness

 Whether they admit it or not, most students will at one point get homesick. This is especially common for students who go to a school that is more than 3 hours from their home. Homesickness also affects freshman as it is presumably their first year away from home, and most freshman are not allowed to have a car during their first year at university.

3. Job

 To combat the high price of college tuition, many students seek for a part time job. Many students try to cram all of these activities into one day, and time spent sleeping suffers. Without proper rest, the student can then become susceptible to different kinds of health problems. These problem does not end up here only. True with most students, they just can’t forget the struggle and competition among students during their placement season to get that one “dream job” .

2. Ragging

Students are generally targeted at school by bullies because they are naive and so vulnerable. Statistically found, this has become one of the most common problem faced by students in past few decades. Although anti-ragging committees are there to support but still student are compelled not to report them about the bullying.

1. Studies

The issue which is ranking one on our list is studies. Education system in college are challenging in nature. For many it requires a much larger effort than high school did, and unlike most high schools, college packs about two years of classes into one.  At times it seems impossible for student to maintain their CGPA or grades. They need to work harder to stay where they are. Besides, students also find it hard to decide their major subjects.

The problems faced are many but you still have lovely moments with your friends and studies. Those who are through with these problems have also learnt to live on own and discovered new avenues. Not to forget, these college days ultimately molds your career. So, those who are yet to go, don’t be afraid of these, they are parts and parcels of your life.  It will gradually make you a responsible and hard-working person.
