Let’s face it, student life can be hard. For many students, this is the first time they have left home — and they now find themselves having to organize their own finances and accommodations, making sure there is food in the cupboard and clean clothes in the closet.
And that’s before they even think about going to a class and how they are going to manage their studies.
That’s why dropout rates are so high, particularly during the first semester, as students feel under-prepared and overwhelmed.
