The 7 Habits of Highly Effective College Students

College is a time of transition and increased responsibility. Students are responsible—often for the first time—for setting their schedules and managing a heavier workload. They’re also potentially learning to live on their own and figure out their place in the world. In many ways, college and stress go hand in hand. But for some, everyday stress transitions into major mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.

Today, 73% of university presidents rank student mental health as their most pressing issue (Deloitte). Mental illness is the leading cause of discontinuous enrollment (especially when paired with substance abuse). Essentially, the biggest factor in your institution’s retention rate may be the mental health of your students. Research shows that students who unenroll are less likely to reach productive life goals and secure well-paying jobs, limiting their ability to contribute positively to society (ACE).
