Problem faced by University Students

Reason why I want to post about this topic because i also a University Students. I study at University Utara Malaysia main campus. You can see me at this adress, DPP EON 06010 Sintok Kedah Malaysia.

There are many problem faced by University students:

1) One problem faced by many university students is being away from home. Quite a number of students travel to different states, or even different countries to pursue their studies. They spend all that time away from their homes, and their families. I also have this problem, I take 1 semester for being away from my family because my home is so far from our campus. This can be very hard on the students and many of them feel homesick very often. We have the internet which connects people and enables people to have live video chats with their loved ones miles, and miles away. Almost everyone today has a smart phone and a computer of their own. Students can now communicate with their families via text, phone calls, video calls and this usually helps ease the homesickness.

Miss them so much!!

2) University students also face problems with making new friends. University is a new chapter in life, and with every new chapter, we have to try to meet new people and make new friends. It is normal for people to feel shy in the beginning, especially when they don’t know anyone around them. But this situation not happen to me. You just need to communicate with people, then you can have your friend. So, why not try taking the first step, and maybe you’ll find yourself heading towards a really wonderful friendship.

3) Another problem we often hear students talk about are relationship problems. University students are usually at the age where they are looking for someone to share their lives with. We hear many stories about students getting into a relationship too quickly, and things going sour because both parties didn’t know each other well enough as friends. Maybe we should accept some advice from the older generation when they always say that we should always strive to get to know a person of the opposite sex as a friend, before deciding if there is anything more to pursue with the person. There seems to be very little success rate when rushing into a relationship with someone we do not know well enough.

4) Transportation also poses to be a popular problem that students face, especially students who rent on-campus lodging or places near campus. University students are at an age where they will be itching to go out and see the world. We cannot expect that they will sit quietly in their rooms. just studying 24/7. They will want to have social lives. Students who come from out-of-town or out of the country would love the opportunity to explore the place they are currently residing in. The university can lend a hand in this area by providing shuttle buses to train stations or bus stations nearby so that students can take public transportation to their desired destinations. This can also help improve students’ safety while travelling to and fro the campus.

5) Another problem that university students face is poor time management. Due to their busy lifestyles, students often find it hard to find a good balance between their studies, social lives and working lives. Students should strive to have a planned schedule for their day so that they can try to maximize their productivity and not fall behind in any aspects of their lives. Students often have to learn to be independent and responsible with managing their time, when in university, away from the direct guidance of their parents.
