The consequences of stress on college students.
- In 2005, the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) surveyed 17,000 college students. Twenty-five percent of the students reported they have "felt so depressed it was difficult to function" three to eight times in the past 12 months. Twenty one percent of the students reported that they "seriously considered suicide."
- In 2003, a survey conducted at Penn State University (PSU) found that 42 percent of their students felt depressed at least once in the past year. Ten percent of PSU college students seriously considered suicide.
- According to the 2005 National Survey of Counseling Center Directors, 154 students committed suicide.
- The second leading cause of death among college students is suicide.
Its an interesting bit of information to look at , as stress levels are already high within education so, fmp must make these levels even higher in creative sector of students.
