Adjustment to Campus Life, Dorm Life & Roomate / Relationship Issues

It may be difficult for first year, transfer, international, as well as returning students to adjust to campus life. Issues involving stress with employment and academics may arise as well as struggles relating to socializing on campus and which activities or organizations to become involved in. All of these new factors can cause stress and anxiety in the life of a student and may require assistance in adjusting to these changes in one’s life.

We will direct you to the appropriate campus resources as needed and will provide information and support for individuals facing adjustment issues related to being new on campus, roommate difficulties, lack of or inappropriate housing, and other interpersonal relationship concerns.
