The first cause of stress for university students is the new university environment itself. Human emotion and behaviour are influenced by the surrounding. Change of social circumstances can make the university students stress. If they go to university straight out of high school, they face the difficult challenge of leaving home, separating from their parents, and beginning the process of finding their own identity as an adult and their place in the world. They need to practise housekeeping, to manage a budget, and to find their way around strange place. These can cause the students sadness and tension. If they are international students, this is particularly acute.
