The Impact of Stress:

  1. Academic Pressure: Juggling coursework, exams, and projects can create immense academic pressure. Students may struggle with time management, fear of failure, and the overwhelming workload. These factors contribute to heightened stress levels.
  2. Social and Peer Pressure: Transitioning into the Le Moyne environment often brings social and peer pressure, leading to anxiety about fitting in, making friends, and maintaining a social life. These pressures can take a toll on students’ mental well-being.
  3. Financial Burdens: Managing tuition fees, living expenses, and finances can be a significant stressor for students. The fear of incurring debt and limited financial resources can create an additional burden.

Coping Strategies for Students:

  1. Time Management: Develop essential time management skills to prioritize tasks, set realistic goals, and allocate dedicated study time. Le Moyne offers time management workshops and techniques at the Noreen Reale Falcone Library.
  2. Stress-Reducing Activities: Engage in stress-relieving activities such as exercise, yoga, or meditation. Le Moyne promotes well-being through various activities, including those offered by the Wellness Center, which provides free health, counseling, and support services to address mental health concerns.
  3. Seek Support: Le Moyne offers a variety of resources, including the Tutoring Center located in the Noreen Reale Falcone Library. If you need academic assistance or guidance, take advantage of the Tutoring Center’s services. Additionally, utilize the Wellness Center for counseling, guidance, and a safe space to address mental health concerns.
  4. Build a Support Network: Le Moyne provides a supportive community where students can connect with like-minded individuals. Join clubs, organizations, or campus communities and attend campus events to build a strong support network and foster a sense of belonging. Also, consult Le Moyne’s identity-based resources and the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging.
  5. Practice Self-Care: Prioritize self-care activities such as adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, and engaging in healthy habits. Le Moyne encourages students to take care of their physical well-being, knowing it directly impacts mental health.
  6. Set Realistic Expectations: Remember that the college journey involves ups and downs. Le Moyne provides resources for academic success, such as the Tutoring Center, to help students set realistic expectations. Embrace the learning and growth process rather than striving for perfection.
