What Effects us ? (Cause and Effect )

Today nearly all univercity students have at least a bad grade. The most important reason is stres I think.Although everybody think that some stres is needed to be succesfull in life, a long lasting or an exxesive stres can cause a disaste such as suicide.


There are three main factors that cause stres on univercity students. Enviroment is the first one. In Turkey students make random choices about the univercities. Just for their names or location. And no one thinks about the enviromental conditions. For example a student from Adana ,Turkey’s warmest city, wants to go to Atatürk Ünivercity in Erzurum, Turkey’s coldest city. After such an enviromental change the student will have to recognize completely diffrent things apart from what he/ she know before. New traditions, local beheaviors, local accent etc. . . When you count the all things you will notice that this problem is not easy to get over at first. And this may cause a log lasting stress. But thanks togod this is also the easiest factor to get over with because the new students will adopt themselfes into new enviroment, later or sooner. . .


Another factor is family or home sickness. The most of the new students probably have never lived apart from their families before. When they come to univercity most of them suffer from this. Generally by the end of the fşrst month most of the new students are home sick. And families generally think that it will be better not to call their childeren a lot, because they think that if they call them too much it will be more difficult to adopt there. But they don’t know that they are wrong. The new students always needs to be guided and supported a lot. Thanks to our education system there are a lot of holidays to help students about this problem. By the time pases the students can get over this factor too. But keep in mind that this factor may cause bad results in first term exams.


Lastly and most importantly being not ready to be in univercity is the biggest problem. All new students including me were prepared for just OSS and YDS not for the univercity. We don’t know what to do or how to do. The classes are completely different from high-school and the teachers too. And we have no one to tell us to study. So we usually hang around idlely and don’t know that we have to study harder than in high school days. Generally we don’t notice this factor by the end of the first year. And this causes the greatest stres. A wasted year, exam failures, irregular attendance and worstly going to same class next year. Most of us will remember this years as the worst year of our lives. Maybe some of them don’t want to remember… The stres that this factor caused may be so great that can end with a suicide. There are examples of it.


In Tukey students mostly suffer form those three major factors. To help us our families and should high school teachers may be educated or informed about those factors. This is needed for the sollution.
