Abstract
The recent years have seen a sharp increase in the stress among higher institution students. This chapter investigates the multidimensional nature of stressors, from financial obligations and academic expectations to social and emotional difficulties. Students' mental and physical health, academic performance, and overall quality of life are all negatively impacted by the prevalence of stress. It is essential for institutions to comprehend these stressors in order to put in place efficient support systems and initiatives that foster student resilience and wellbeing. Since it ultimately affects the future success and mental health of the younger generation, addressing student pressures is a joint responsibility of educators, legislators, and society at large.
