College is an exciting time of growth, learning, and independence, but it can also bring significant stress and anxiety. The transition from high school to college—or even from one semester to the next—can be overwhelming. Understanding the common triggers of anxiety for college students can help you recognize when you’re struggling and take proactive steps to manage your mental health.

Some key sources of anxiety in college are:
Heavy coursework, deadlines, and exams can increase anxiety and stress.
Making friends, peer pressure, and loneliness can impact mental well-being.
Tuition, loans, and living expenses can create ongoing anxiety.

Career worries and self-doubt can make college feel overwhelming.
Experiencing anxiety in college is common, but if feelings of stress, worry, or panic become overwhelming and interfere with daily life, professional support can help.
