Entering a different stage in life can be stressful as it is something that requires change and needs adaptation.  This not only affects the student but his or her whole family, as well.  These situations may include maturational or adventitious crises.  Have you heard of these?  Maturational crises are those that are expected to come about as one grows up.  These include entering a different school for college, getting married, or having a baby.  On the other hand, adventitious crises are those that are unexpected and are mostly brought about by happenings around you.

Talking about entering the university, students must prepare holistically (just in case you thought I had used up all my long words!), especially if they will be going to a new environment that is very far from home.  Why?  It is because there are a lot of things to adapt to.  And, you must be ready so that you can face any hardship that may come your way.  You may be living on your own when you go to the university.  This might include washing your own dishes and clothes, buying your own groceries and take note, you have to do these things while studying for your lessons.  Do you think that’s hard enough?  What do you think might happen if you are not so ready for it?  You cannot just give up since your education is also at stake.  I can only advise you to prepare carefully but also not to be thrown if unexpected things happen to you from the moment you pack your things and leave home.
