II. Myths and Facts Regarding College Experience

College years are times of significant transition and challenge for an individual. Transition simply means change. Higher levels of anxiety are always experienced by people who are in a state of transition regardless of whether the change is perceived as good or bad. The following are some of the myths vs. the facts regarding college experience.

Myth 1: College Years Are the Best Years of One‘s Life

, Fact 1: While college years are memorable and enjoyable, they can also be

among the most stressful and anxious times. One is faced with constant

evaluation from his professors. Personal and parental expectations are

always on his mind. Financial stress is often a way of life. Career decisions,

various relationships and the move toward independence are also common

issues. Making these the best years of one‘s life involves developing an

approach that is proactive and includes a support network.

Myth 2: Students experiencing stress or anxiety are unprepared to handle the rigors of college.
