Summer Blues? Transitioning Back Home
Going home after the completion of a school year is typically something students are really excited about. This transition back home, though, can come with some unexpected angst. A few days after returning home, students often find that they miss home, miss living in the residence halls, and start to talk about how they miss Gonzaga. This transition can be particularly hard for freshman students who have not gone through a “college summer break” before.

The freshman 15 is something of lore on most college campuses. Rumor has it that students gain 15 pounds once they go to college. Weight gain is often attributed to what food selections students make, stress, and alcohol consumption.
