Between September and November 2023, 36 percent of students rated their mental health as inadequate, according to the monitor. This is slightly higher than the previous survey. First-year and international students scored lower, as they have to adjust to a new academic and social environment, which makes them feel more stressed and lonely.<\/p>\n

About 77 percent of students experience moderate to severe stress, with study pressure playing the most significant role. Some 41 percent report mild burnout symptoms. Both indicators are slightly higher than in the previous year\u2019s survey as well.<\/p>\n\n\t
