We at Unicheck believe that every problem has a solution, and you just need to look at it from the other perspective and find the right way out.
Improving Financial Part
“By the end of my sophomore year at a small private liberal arts college, my mother and I had taken out a second loan, my father had declared bankruptcy and my parents had divorced. My mother could no longer afford the tuition that the student loans weren’t covering. I transferred to a state college in New Jersey, closer to home”.

That is a sophomore’s experience. Mostly all the students are stressed out of the debt they have to pay off for their tuition fee. And you are one of them. It seems huge and bothers you all the time as you don’t really realize what to do. To become responsible for that and know your limits, you should have a clear image of the sums and deadlines, that’s why getting a tip from a financial advisor is just what you need.

You have probably experienced that feeling of being far from home and missing everyone you know. For sure it is stressful and the new environment leaves you no chance for making friends instantly. That could be sad but what if to start making friends without any fear which is the only thing that blocks you from getting to know others. Just say “hi” first, look at people around you and decide if you may join some cliques. Start attending courses that suit your interests or volunteer for a program.
Harmonizing Relationships
“My depression was accompanied by an eating disorder, which I slowly developed during my second semester at Cornell University. I was struggling to balance school, my parents’ divorce, and a long-distance boyfriend who was not treating me well. I took it all out on myself and began to compulsively exercise, and eventually restricted my food intake. I didn’t realize what was wrong with me; I just knew I was always tired, cold, and extremely unhappy”. Anonymous Student
