The anticipation of new possibilities and hopes that campus life has to offer enthralls university students in their new environment each year. However, many students experience indisposition, such as difficulty getting along with new friends and academic relationships, disorderly dietary and sleeping habits or apathy following a loss of purpose, during the process of adjusting to their new cultural environment. Additionally, the student’s burden includes items that induce disruptive conditions, such as extended periods of computer operation, group work lasting late into nights, peer pressure at parties and midterm and final requirements. In addition, support from the student’s family may not be as readily available, leaving the student more vulnerable to the stress of adjustment.The student must assume responsibility for managing his/her life habits and maintaining his/her own health. Physical and Mental Health for Campus Life will consist of seven sessions aimed at acquiring basic skills and theory in order to maintain physical and mental soundness that will ensure a fulfilling campus life. Although the student may be familiar with much of the lecture material, the important aspect is that the theory be applied practically.
To this end, through the topics discussed during sessions, students are expected to re-evaluate their health conditions or problems and recapture these health issues from a personal perspective.
