Traveling can help reduce stress for college students. Stress stems from academics, work, family, and financial pressures. While some students turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, traveling provides benefits like exploring new places and cultures, improving work or school performance, and enhancing heart health and sleep. Students do not need to travel far or spend much to reap these stress-relieving rewards, as simply spending time in a new or peaceful locale with friends can help provide much-needed relief.
