5 COMMON PROBLEMS DURING COLLEGES

1. Study.

College is challenging.  For many it requires a much larger effort than high school did, and unlike most high schools, college packs about two years of classes into one.  Many students take a full 15 credit semester, while other try to cram in 18 or even 21 credits.  At times it seems impossibe for students to stay on top of it all.
 

2. Money

 Tuition costs are rising at alarmingly high rates.  Couple that with eating out, shopping trips, gas for the car, and the price of textbooks, and you have a college student's worst nightmare.  College students drop out of school each year because they cannot afford it.  Others are forced to juggle full schedules with full time jobs to make ends meet.  It is becoming increasingly harder for students to graduate debt-free
 

3.Friends / Roommates
Friends and roommates are usually good for a good time.  However, they can get on each others nerves at times.  Because these students are living together in close quarters and seeing each other each day, this is just not a good thing
 
4.Partying
 Partying in itself really is not a problem.  Parties were designed so that attendees could have a good time.  However, many of the parties that go on at colleges today have the potential to cause problems.  At many parties alcohol, drugs, and sex rule the night.  Alcohol can lead to drunkenness and potentially deadly situations.  Having sex without taking the necessary precautions can spread diseases.
 
5. Relationships
 Relationships are good, but at times they can become a problem.  There are times in every realtionships where a couple will have a disagreement or issue.  Disagreements between couples can distract students from their school work and add to already high stress levels.  Break-ups can drive some students even further
