College life is a time to chill or time to toil? A study on university foreign languages students

Abstract

College students believe that after arduous years of high school education, when a significant number of students commit suicide and several suffer from severe mental illnesses as a result of the intense pressures of school, college life is a time to relax rather than work. Students ranging in year from first to fourth from various universities participated in the study. An online survey served as the methodology. The findings indicated that, in comparison to male students, female students make up the majority of university students who study foreign languages. The result revealed that students' attitudes about college life were generally balanced. While the first year was thought to be the most comfortable, the majority of students thought that the fourth year was the most challenging.
