College Planning and Student Emotions

Find out what 10,000 high school students told us about how stress and anxiety impact the college search process

After years of pandemic, lockdowns, remote learning, and anxiety, it is no surprise that high school students are feeling stressed. But how does that stress affect them as they search for colleges?

To answer that, RNL and ZeeMee went straight to the source and polled high school seniors about the stress, anxiety, and worry they felt. The College Planning and Student Emotions Report details their answers and should be enough to make us reconsider how we communicate with them and what we communicate during the college planning and enrollment process.
