What is blocking your success?
The results for the 2010 National College Health Assessment were just released. OSU students were given the opportunity to identify factors that negatively impacted their academic success. Those factors, marked by the percentage of students feeling impacted, were:
10. Alcohol use (8%)
9. Concern for a troubled friend/family member (8.1%)
8. Relationship difficulties (9.4%)
7. Depression (9.7%)
6. Internet Use/Computer Games (11%)
5. Work (12.6%)
4. Anxiety (17%)
3. Sleep Difficulties (17.2%)
2. Illness (20.9%)
1. Stress (23%)
The key is that all of these factors are manageable given access to the right resources. OSU has multiple resources available for students to help cope with these issues. Your success as a student is the most important thing; take charge of your success!
