The Big Picture • The emotional health of college freshmen has reached the lowest level in 25 years. • One-third of students reported being frequently “overwhelmed by all [they] had to do.” • The percentage of students reporting that their emotional health was in the “highest 10%” or “above average” when compared to their peers dropped 3.4 percentage points from 2009, from 55.3% to 51.9%. • Women were far less likely to report high levels of emotional health (45.9% versus 59.1%, a difference of 13.2 percentage points).
