After going to school with post-secondary students in September, some people say that everyday challenges of campus life are promoted by only a cost-lively crisis, social pressure and a rapidly fragmented political atmosphere.
There is a look here that some university students have a heavy weight on the brain because they prepare to return to the classroom.
Concern between political tensions across the border
Ben Carpenter, a fourth -year student at the University of Carlton in Ottawa, decided to go from the United States to Canada for the school as he found tuition more cheap.
But being an American in the Canadian capital during a tariff war and US President Donald Trump’s call for the 51st state has been a strange experience, he said. He did not immediately tell people that he is from America, he said while looking at the tension between the two countries.
“(Ottawa) is clearly anti -trump,” the carpenter said. “It is clearly anti -America, which is for good reason and does not bother me.”
Carpenter also worries if he will be able to stay in Canada for a long time, especially since his companions and friends live in Ottawa. As a gay person, he is especially careful about the safety of LGBTQ+ people in America, he said.
Although he deserves post-graduate work permits in Canada, Carpenter said that he is conscious that immigration rules in both countries have been in flow over the years.
Carpenter said, “I think there is a very popular approach among many people that the immigration rules are very loose, and I am responding to the government to tighten them,” Carpenter said. “This is, of course, scary for me because I would like to live.”
Carpenter said that he is trying his best not to worry too much – he does not want these challenges to intervene with his life in Ottawa.
“I just focus on making it through the day because if I have to leave Canada then I don’t want to feel that I wasted at any time.”
Struggle with AI and social media
Rylande Horseman, a student visiting her third year at Nipissing University, said that her phone addiction is difficult to break and “takes away from being able to study.”
“I think when I am in the library and I am really trying to lock when the inspiration is so low, I would just say,” Oh, I will take a five -minute break, “the horseman said. “Five minutes change in 20 minutes, 20 minutes turn it to half an hour.”
He said that the problem has become worse only by the colleagues with the continuous flow of the online post which makes him feel insecure, he said.
The horseman said, “Their schedule is jam-packs and they are completely incredible on everything they are doing.” “We are like,” man, I need to move it a little further, I need to do more, “when the reality is that everyone struggles.”
AB Nunn, who also goes into Nipping, said she felt the effect of increasing use of artificial intelligence in the school. She said that she often uses generous AI to assign classes, which she has called “despair and really discouraged”.
Nunnan said, “When you know that someone has to generate the same essay in two seconds, it is difficult to try in an assignment and they are still getting better grades from you.” “It almost seems to be what’s the matter, you know?”
Expensive and burnout fear
Maeve Villeneuve-Alson Stittsville’s West Ottawa lives in the suburb, and said that daily daily traffic and part-time job for Carlton University “is weight on my brain.”
Villainuway-Elson said that recent changes in the city’s transport routes and schedules, in collaboration with the recently announced sanctions of the school on parking permits, means that the evening has to face “more than two hours” for traffic.
“I will insist on the bed, keep staring on the roof, insisting that a bus is late, it can ruin my whole day.”
With limited access to a car, Villainuway-Elson is concerned about the impact of traffic on their social life and the ability to take changes on work.
The student hopes that professors and business owners have patience with students who are coming to a city that is rapidly watching population growth and increasing crowds.
“I know many people who are older than me, who are in an older generation, they look at General Z to look late for things,” said Villainuway-Elson.
“A lot at that time, I think, especially for university students, it is due to these incredible cycles that all push on each other, which eventually leads to stress burnouts.”
Back to school – but at what cost?
Eiola Alande, a student of Trent University, said that his biggest challenge is planning his finance ahead of the semester. He said that many students, especially international students, thought that Canada came out of the Kovid -19 epidemic and saw that it would be temporary.
“We could not guess the problem of a consistent inflation,” he said. “So it is difficult for many students like you to plan your degree.”
The strength weighs heavily on the brain of the students, he said, because they have to find out how to awaken the increasing cost of bills, rent and tuition. He said that this can be especially difficult for international students who are limited to 24 hours of work per week during school year.
“People think that nowadays students are just lazy and do not feel that we are living only in very different times,” he said.
