The Differences Of Living On Campus Wellness In College Students

Exploring only two topics of engaging in physical activity and having and using a support system it is easy to see that one should not succumb to the pressures of freshman year, rather embrace them and use the resources that are readily available. Other articles state that how a student performs in high school can directly influence how he or she will perform in college. “Academic preparation in high school predicted all indicators of college success, and student absences in high school predicted two individual indicators of college success and a composite of college success indicators” (Stephan). Jennifer Stephan states that one can determine a college student’s success by analyzing their high school academic performance. Regardless it is important that incoming college students understand that they deserve to be where they are and that it is a privilege that not many people around the world have the chance to do. If one realizes how blessed they are to be attending a university obtaining a formal education they will likely find ways to succeed because they know that it is a once in a life time opportunity. There are more questions to be asked and am sure research will continue on areas of improving incoming college students’ success. More research needs to be done in examining and selecting roommates. For example, place students with at least a few similar interests together so they have a sense of belonging and that should start with surveys before entering college while the student is still in high school so there is time to properly room them. There are many facets to improve on and with more research being done everyday there is no reason for high school students’ college acceptance rates and first year college students’ GPA to continue to

The biggest problem for teenagers when they came to the College is shocked. The article “The Real Campus Source” was written by Frank Bruni makes us know more about the life and the feeling of the students who study at college in first semester. So how the alumnus feels when they first come to college? The author analyses the emotion of the students. He knows that they feel lonely, bored, and abandoned because they don't know about the people who they first time meet (2018). I agree with the author’s opinion that student will feel lonely when they study first semester in college and I disagree with the point that using technology for connect students’ family and high school friends can make them isolated to new people.

When a student goes off to college, they begin to no longer rely on their parents as much as they once have. The majority of college students choose to live on campus. They start becoming more independent. They learn to make their own food, do their homework and clean up after themselves without being told, and they start providing for themselves for the most part. They discover they have to be responsible with their money because they now have tuition to pay; and books, tuition, and other miscellaneous items to buy. They also gain a better sense of responsibility by deciding their major and choosing their career

The hardest decision a student has to make during their senior year of high school is which school to attend and whether to live on campus or commute. There are both advantages and disadvantages to both scenarios. The entire college experience is a learning trip and it is oftentimes a young adults first step towards independence. Living on campus is an adjustment and is a huge eye-opener to the real world. The college dorm life is considered to be part of the "full college experience," but the costs of living in a residence hall can persuade students to remain home while they are in college in order to avoid housing fees.

Desiring to have a better life in future inclines people to focus on their academic career. Schools, exams, busy schedules and a pile of work are quintessential this goal. Therefore, students who want to achieve a better future prefer undergoing hard work instead of engaging in social activities. However, social sides of college do not only occupy a big role, but also has plenty of benefits. Social life in college becoming increasingly essential in today’s world triggered an acceptable consideration: Social parts of college should be considered as equal as the academic parts because of psychological, social reasons and its benefits in terms of future.

According to Crombie (2009) During the transition to the university setting, it has been noted that freshmen undergo a period of adaptation. What that means is that they must adjust to a new environment and associated stressors through coping methods. Well how does that affect college students and what impact does it have on their health? In agreement with Crombie a failure to adequately adjust may result in negative health behaviors such as alcohol consumption and declines in psychological and physical health.

Like many of the questionnaires utilized for research in the articles used for this literature review, it was anonymous, and administered and collected during class. This form of data collection provided high turn in rates allowing researchers to have a wide study scale. According to Hicks, T., & Heastie, S., contrasting levels of stress and coping mechanisms were present in these students. It was noted that traditional college students experience more psychological stress than their nontraditional student counterparts. In addition, during the first year of college, the amount of stress experienced by students is the highest in comparison to stress in the remainder of the years. These results are especially important because it stresses the need for a strong health and wellness center within colleges and universities.

Living on campus requires you to only walk a relatively short distance from the dorm to the classroom. You are also surrounded by other students your age with similar ideals and outlooks on life as your own. Meals are accessible and on campus activities are much more convenient and ideal to attend. Living on campus does for the most part does have its benefits. As a student living on campus you are given the opportunity to socialize on a regular bases. Interaction becomes easier because you are amongst an atmosphere of likeminded individuals. Whether it may be in the dormitory among roommates or sitting in the quad with friends between classes.

The first year of college comes with many changes and challenges. These changes can include the food in the cafeteria, study habits, time management skills, and much more. Every student has to find their own way to handle the first year and determine what works best for them. For many the most essential change is living away from home. Campus life provides opportunities to become a part of a unique, diversified community. With these opportunities come challenges, such as having a roommate, being away from one’s parents, and determining self-limits.

Parents are there to lead and to mentor, but as we all know, they won't be there forever. So when is a good time to learn to live without them, sooner, or later? Many first-year college students would immediately choose sooner, but when it really comes down to it, they are fearful of the outside world.The fear of starting over without the help of your parents seems terrifying. Thats why I see it to be beneficial for the requirement for students to live on campus for their first year.

According to Lupien, McEwan, Gunnar, and Heim (2009), going off to college involves significant adjustments to their daily routines; sleeping and eating habits, time-management skills, and stress levels will be altered in one way or another. First-year students have to adjust to the new school environment, different social settings, and new schedules, all without the help and guidance from their parents, who have been there for them for eighteen years. Over 30% of college freshman report that they feel overwhelmed (Klainberg, Ewing, & Ryan, 2010), where some students even opt to work as they juggle their class and work schedules. Some students work at a job or study harder than others, but they are all trying to get degrees so maybe one day they will have meaningful and significant lives. It is a constant struggle for everyone who is trying desperately to make him or herself into a success. And every college student wants to be involved in society in a positive manner, allowing contribution of their ideals and values to others.

Having good living conditions can help impact the students studies in college. For a student that chooses to live on campus, they would be assigned a roommate. They have to accommodate to each other, and the new space they are living. This is also giving them the change to meet knew people. Meeting new people can lead to joining study groups, club, and maybe even a soul mate. The support of others can help drive the student to their best abilities If he/she chooses to live off campus they will have the luxury of quietness and as much privacy as he/she chooses. A student would also have plenty of space instead of a condensed

College is many things: fun, educational and full of growth. But is also comes with responsibilities and major decisions. One of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make in college is deciding where to live. There are many options for upcoming students, and all come with their advantages and disadvantages. It all boils down if the student wants to live on or off campus. There is a huge debate which one gives the student a higher chance to succeed, but even though they are certainly different, they share some similar qualities as well.

In the period of transition to university, first year students appear to have different challenges. As early studies, health and study issues were identified as two examples of challenge in first university year. According to Douglas et al. (as cited in Richardson, King, Garrett & wWrench, 2012, p.88) “great opportunity for personal growth and learning is overshadowed by the poor health behaviors and negative health outcomes”. This idea is briefly understood that the problems of first year in university seems to be too hard for students to deal and as a consequence, students tend to

This report is about using reflexive photography to gain an understanding on how students feel about the campus environment and campus life. It is to recreate a similar study made at the University College of Fraser Valley (UCFV) which was used to provide recommendations to the university policymakers regarding the planning and development of the institutions academics and physical environment but we completed this in a much shorter period of time. It will be about how we feel about the Penrhyn Road campus.
