The Covid-19 pandemic has been exhausting for college students for various reasons, from feeling drained by virtual classes to missing in-person graduation celebrations to worrying about paying off loans.

• Three researchers surveyed more than 1,300 full-time students from the U.S., U.K., and Canada to better understand how they were internalizing their stressors.
• The study revealed that 32% of students knew a close family member or friend who had been sick with Covid-19 and that 60% had lost income.
• Students also reported high levels of stress and loneliness, with 54% reporting that they often felt that they had no control over their situations.
• At the same time, many demonstrated a heightened sense of concern for others and hoped to find work that would fulfill a greater purpose.
