Traditionally, the coming weeks can be some of the most difficult for many college students. For some, academics may seem overwhelming, homesickness kicks in, roommate struggles may worsen, or winter break may end up being far different from expected.
Having someone to talk to can be a smart first step toward working through an issue or a stressful situation. Michigan State University provides all MSU students access to counseling support 24/7/365 through My SSP: Student Support Program.
