College Life -- New Transitions
College students face a unique challenge with new demands and transitions that can cause high levels of stress. For these reasons, we are vulnerable to eating an unhealthy diet. For many of us, this is the first time we are living on our own. It is also the first time we are completely responsible for what we eat. It is up to us to choose a healthy diet.
According to one study, 66 percent of college students used the Internet to search for health information. But with so much information out there, it can be hard to find what you are looking for. This website will hopefully make that search a little easier for you.
