Maintaining good health in college is crucial for both academic and personal success. It can be easy to neglect self-care when faced with the demands of classes, homework, and extracurricular activities. Taking the time to exercise, eat well, and manage stress can help prevent burnout and improve overall well-being. Many health problems that may arise during college can be prevented through healthy habits such as regular check-ups, vaccination, and sleep hygiene.
Ferrum College is committed to supporting a healthy, vibrant, productive community. We all are part of that community. Be your best this year! STAY STRONG, STAY FIT, STAY WELL!
