The relationship of living situation, health and academic stress among female college students

Abstract

Health and living situations are important aspects in a college student’s academic performance. This paper investigated the interrelationship of academic stress, health and psycho-social situation among 332 women undergraduates. The study reveals that health and living situations are interdependent set of physiological, psychological, and social processes that can influence, in varying degrees, girls students’ academic performances. Healthy lifestyles do relate to a college student’s life, such as attending classes, working, socializing and upholding interpersonal relationships. The college and University authorities must support the academic mission of student learning by assisting students in leading quality based healthier lives.
