Analysis and discussion
1. Briefly explain the issues and challenges that are faced by students when going to university.
Education is vital in everyone life because it inspire people, students to achieve goals and
objectives in life. When choosing and selecting universities, proper research is done so that right
option is adopted. University give a path to students through which they can achieve success and
push themselves toward ahead in life. (Winstone, 2017). Thus, each and every individual go for
higher education and focus towards their career. During this process, ample numbers of problems
are faced by them such as money, assignments, jobs, family etc. These issues are common in
student’s life and they handle these challenges in proper manner which helps them in analysing their
capability to handle difficult situations. When such threats occur, individual become motivate and
strong in accomplishing mission and vision of their life.
In student life, level of problem depends upon situation and it is unique from each other.
(Bovill, 2016). So, it depends upon individual how to face issues which affect them at broad and
wide level. Some of the major problems which are faced by students are discussed below-

 Study – The first major problem which is faced by student is study. In university, level of
academic is higher than the schools and it becomes difficult for students to manage and
maintain their score in universities. Level of study is so high that students try hard and still
are unable to clear the exams. So, to deal with this issue student must analyse and examine
their capability of learning so that it become easier clear the semesters.
 Working- part time- Another issue which has to be faced by student is working while
going to university. Price of education and coaching is increasing at rapid level and it
become problematic situation for some students to pay for their fees so they choose to work
as part time. So, in this situation overload and tension takes place which results in anxiety
and affect the study score at wider level (Henderson, , 2017).
 Depression- Sometimes due to high level of stress, student enters into depression mode.
This is emerging problem in student’s life and they are unable to focus towards their other
activities and wish to stay alone. To overcome with this problem, friends and family/love
belongings assist them so that they came out from such issue.
 Money- Further come the money problem in which students are unable to afford
universities fees and does not take part in co-curricular activities. This has a deep impact on
their personal life too. To overcome with such situations many financial institutions or
money lenders are available who provide student loans and this can be repaid by them after
once they get the job or depending upon conditions and requirement of those institutions.
 Health conditions- Due to high level of stress of study and exams, students forgot about
their health and do not sleep properly. This has a deep impact on their health conditions and
anger and caprice behaviour take place individual life. So, student should understand this
thing that nothing is important when it comes to health (Russell, 2019).
 Friends- Then come the friends, no matter what without them student life is boring. But, in
friendship maintaining relationship with everyone is not possible so conflicts and disputes
arise when friends are involved. Thus, to overcome with this issues students should give
time to themselves and others, can go for party or mall. Strong relationship is developed
when importance is given to other people.
 Major or not- In universities, there are numerous number of alternatives available in
academic and other amenities. Sometime students get stuck in such situations and confusion
is created to choose which majority. This happens mostly when in single degree options are
available such as MBA- marketing or human resource. To deal with this problem focus is
need to be developed so that right majority is selected by students.

After a brief analysis of above matter it is stated that problem is part of life and is to handled
and faced with peace. University must took preventive measures such as helping students with
scholarship programmes, conducting stress free session so that there is deep understanding of stress
in individual life. Focus and time play important role in examining the challenges as well as threats.
2. Recommendations to problems-
 To relive from stress and problematic situations, students, must do yoga in their free
time. This is because it helps them to focus towards their life and make them stress free.
Also, in yoga meditation is a key player and which assist students to be active and aware
about such issues.
 Level of stress should be analysed so that it doesn’t have impact on health conditions.
Also, students should not give so much attention to problems affects their health at
widely and broadly.
 When issues are faced by student then discussion must be done by them with either
family or friends. Sharing of problems make them stress free up to some level. Thus, it
also assist in solution for the existing problem because new ideas and thoughts are
developed (Wilder, 2019).
 Furthermore, academic in universities should reduce the work load so that students are
able to focus in their life in appropriate manner.
 Whenever problems or issues take place in student life, they should not react in
negative manner because it gives more importance to problematic situation. Thus, it
should be handled with positive mind and smile which help them in facing the
challenges in effective manner.
 Moreover, whenever challenging situation arises students must handle with smile and
positive thinking this assist them to deal with issues appropriately. Broad thinking leads
to solution of every problem. With help of this students are able to manage and maintain
themselves properly and commitments towards family or friends are fulfilled in
complete and effective way.
After a brief analysis of above matter it is seen that if problem occurs in one’s life then here
is a solution of each and every issues. So, positivity is to be carried out through the whole process
until and unless problem is not removed. Student should focus and give importance to their life
rather than making issue as major. Also, sometimes being alone is also solution to a particular
problem. So, negativity vibes and thoughts should be removed from mind so that depression does

not occur in individual life. Thus, brainstorming and group discussion can be used to maintain life
and to be stable. Any elder with whom student feels comfort can discuss their issues and ask them
to help if they are able to help or not.

CONCLUSION
After a brief analysis of above report it is concluded that university make lives of students
but give stress too. Problem and difficult situations are to be handled by them in proper manner and
with positive mind. Without issues, students cannot examine what they are looking for and also it
won’t be possible for them to identify their capabilities and calibre to face the challenges. But it is
essential to know the level of problem so that it does not has impact on individual commitments.
Thus, a balance is to be maintained and managed in students life so that goals and objectives are
achieved in proper manner.
