Abstract: Environmental Stress among students is potentially dangerous occurrence since it can physically and mentally affect the student’s future. A series of anonymous, short one-on-one interviews were conducted with undergraduate students from VISTAS, Chennai and they were questioned on how they faced stress, how their peer community was affected, how stress affected their physical health and academic performance, and the measures they took to deal with it. The findings were critically analyzed and compared with established facts from international publications. The causes may be due to the environment, biological stressors, emotional factors and more. Symptoms and impact are related to a general decrease in productivity, poor health conditions. An analysis of stress causing factors reveals them to be emotional, physical, social, cultural, and so on. Stress has profound effects on physical health and academic performance of students. As our world’s future, the youth such as college students must be taken good care of as well as taught how to tackle real life situations and stress tactfully and remain safe.
