Colleges are Taking the Stress out of Finals
At the University of Virginia, students find more than toilet paper on the inside of the bathroom stalls. They are also finding copies of the Stall Seat Journal-the publication that offers tips on how to deal with end of the year stress.
At Ohio University in Dayton, students are offered playground games instead of study breaks and at Bentley University in Waltham, Mass., students painted a large canvass to hang on the bare walls of the fitness center to help them unwind during the week of finals.
Colleges do not promote staying up all night studying-especially when students have to take important tests the next day. At the University of Dayton, the school offers a 24 hour study space in the campus library and student union to assist students who are studying for finals.
Many colleges around the U.S. hold ‘midnight breakfasts’ where food is served to the students late at night. Some colleges hold ‘dog days’ during which faculty and staff will bring their dogs to campus to play with stressed-out students while other colleges offer prayer services to help students calm down.
