There are two types of stress: eustress-or good stress, when the student anticipates a positeve event; or the stress we are mostly familiar with the strain of dealimg with problems that are difficult to overcome. For most students we are concerned with the stresses that arise from attending college and personal stress, the inability to pay the rent, or some other such problem, which is not easily rectifiable. Solving the "problem" stress and the issues that it causes, can be unmanageable. Dealing with positve stress, is much easier of course, allowing the individual a number of different, choices resulting in a positive outcome. The stress involved with "strain" on the individual's life, can cause an erosive personality disorder, or other problems affecting the student's performance.
