More than 70 percent of college freshmen encounter problems adapting to a new environment, according to a recent research report.

A MyCOS Research Institute survey of 90,000 students nationwide who started their university studies in 2015 and 2016 found that they often had problems related to studying, daily life, spending and relationships.

Fifty-one percent mentioned studying as a problem, while 90 percent said they had trouble forging friendships with the members of the opposite sex.
