Abstract

"Think back to your first days of college. How did you feel?

For most first-year and first-generation college students, starting university is a time of great excitement and anticipation. It’s a chance to make friends, explore ideas and diverse perspectives, and perhaps live away from home. This excitement, however, is often accompanied by stressors that challenge students’ psychosocial development."
