HEALTH & WELLNESS

Living on a college campus changes our lives. Even after years of graduation, most of us remember our university days fondly and often refer to them as "golden days."

But have you ever considered what makes university life so special?

For some, it's the taste of independence, while others value campus life and culture, co-curricular activities, sports, friendships, and the ability to make crucial life decisions.

University life is both exciting and challenging for a student; however, many aspects of student life, such as academic pressure, personal relationships, and professional concerns and issues, can all lead to stress.
