time is never an easy task due to which many of the students have to face problems. There are
number of other problem as well which is to be faced by the students such as fees of university
which are not of affordable price due to which education loans are required to be taken. Even

major drawback of this particular field.
According to “Cottrell, 2019”, it is necessary for everyone to understand that there are
number of types of students but still they are required to face some of the challenges which
create issues for them at personal level. The first and the major challenge for any of the student is

MAIN BODY
Identify and evaluate some of the main challenges that students experience when they start
university
The life of student always have an interesting point in their life because there are number
of topic which gives them the opportunity to learn something new on a daily basis. It is necessary

for any of the student that they must be able to make their decision as per the requirement of
situation if they are willing to accomplish the goals. It is essential to understand for any of the

number of obstacles which they will have to face. Also, while pursuing the higher education,
there are some of the problem and challenges which are to be faced by students. Those problem
and challenges are listed below in detail:
 Variable Student Fees: This would be good for all of the learners to realize why
acquiring anything innovative is quite essential however the pricing structure which
universities have planned is making things difficult for them. There are several
candidates that are unable to learn on the grounds of their desirableness because the fees
structure which has been framed by the colleges is not allowing them to do so. There are
number of students who have been trying to take some of the action against it but they are
unable to achieve any of the favorable decision.
 Time Management: When it comes to the student life, it is essential for them to
understand that how much time management plays the crucial role for them in obtaining
the goals. In context of the students, during the higher studies they are unable to do
because of number of pressure which they carry with them (Investigating Learning
Challenges Faced by Students in Higher Education, 2015). For example: students are
required to look after their family, their carrier and even some of them carries the
pressure of job and settlement which is not letting them to attain the goals.
 Housing Problem: The another problem that students have to face during their student
life is housing problem because there are number of occasion where they are unable to
get as per the requirement. There are number of places where accommodation are so
expensive which is not affordable by different category of students.
 Number of Distraction: It is necessary to understand that the life of student is never an
easy because number of issues are to be faced by them. The age where students study
within the university is very crucial because it is found that in this particular age they
involve themselves within activities like drugs, alcohol etc (Thompson, 2017). This are
some of the major distracts which students has to face.

 Racism: It is said that the life of student is very crucial but they are also needed to face
the problem of racism. Although, law has been formed where everyone would be treated
equally but still it has been found that students have to face challenges related to their
color, caste, gender and etc.
 Depression: The another challenges which students faces within the student’s life is
related with depression. There is different activity which is to be performed due to which
it is said that students face the problem related to Depression (7 Common Problems
Students Face During University Life, 2019). The nature of student is never same which
means that sustaining the pressure is never equal with them. The pressure which is being
creating never allows them to accomplish the goals.
Although, there are number of challenges which students has to face but still, it is necessary
to understand that above mentioned points are the major challenges which students has to face
during their higher education life. If students will not be provided some of the effective solution
in future period of time, then percentage of causes related to above mentioned problem will
increase significantly.
Provide recommendations that could help students to overcome these challenges
In present scenario, there are number of challenges which students have to face but it is
essential to deal with those problem so that positive result can be obtained in future time period.
If any of student have the ability to tackle with the situation, then there are very high percentage
that goals can be accomplished. There are some of the ways to overcome the problem and
challenges and those ways are:
 Whenever any of the students faces the problem related to racism within the university, in
that respective situation, it becomes essential to understand for students that they give
information to administration so that problem will not occur or it can be solved (9 Ways
to Overcome Challenges in School, 2018).
 There are different ways through which problem related to depression can be solved. The
first thing which student can focus is related with attaining the seminar where they can
find out the way to tackle with the situation. This are the way through which problem of
depression can be solved.

 It is mandatory for any of the students that they must be able to select the university
which is able to provide qualitative education in required fees structure. It can become
one of the way through problem related fee structure can be solved by student
themselves.
 Preparing the time table is one of the most important thing for students through which
they can easily resolve the problem related managing the time. This can easily resolve the
problem in a short period of interval (Gormley and et. al., 2018).
 The another way through which problem of students can be solved is by preparing the
rent agreement which will not allow to create any of the difference between students and
landlord.
This is the way through which a student can easily tackle any of the problem and give them
the opportunity to accomplish the goals. Even percentage of problem can be reduced
significantly with the help of above recommendation.
