College is where we meet a lot of people, learn lots of things and experience a few things at once. It is easy to overlook the hurdles encountered in college with the many good stories around. For young students, stress is the reason why college is the most of their lives.
The rare thing in being a college student is that there are many possible sources of distress. During their time on campus, some people may not feel any stress, and some can be overwhelmed by stress.
Finances, academics, social life, and culture shock make our college life challenging. We will discuss in each one to reveal the typical type of stress a college student deals with every day.

College Finances

College tuition is expensive and is getting costly every year. Whether a student decides to attend a private school away from home or in a community college in their hometown, the cost of dormitories, books, and tuition can pile up quickly. It can be troublesome to determine how the bills will be paid each semester unless a scholarship is involved.
Because of the financial burden, many students take part-time jobs to manage some of the costs of going to college during the school year. They not only have to deal with their part-time work, but they also have to deal with their academic requirements and classes. Getting enough time to get a decent rest and doing work can be a huge battle.

Academic Success

Maintaining a good GPA through graduation is the most significant source of stress for college students. Grades can impact scholarships, job offers, class ranking, and graduate school eligibility. If scholarships are removed from some students, they may be asked to skip school for some time—this pressure students on exams and term papers on their undergraduate programs.

Homesickness

Being away from home for some time and getting used to it is a tricky thing. The exciting feeling of alone fading and turns to sadness and anxiety after realizing how far we are from our friends and relatives. Learning how to take care of ourselves will harm students who are not ready to be independent.

Social Life Balance

Sporting events, concerts, late nights, and parties are events college students dream of going to, but if not moderated, they can be troublesome. Many students feel the need to be involved in parties and events for their social life. New experiences come with decisions and responsibilities, and regulating activities from their social lives and academics is challenging for undergrads not being able to adjust.
