Student Issues

Students may feel anxious, angry, lonely or depressed when faced with challenges and academic concerns.  Many students are new to academic pressures and challenges in adjusting to the college environment.  There are sometimes confusion and ignorance in options available for students. The college counselors are able to aide in the personal growth and adjustment, clarification of options available, and are a smart and healthy response to solving problems that may arise during the college experience.
