The Problem
Over the years, stress levels for college students have increased. Studies show that 61% of college students report high anxiety and 49% report also having depression. The Penn Foster Association found when students are stressed and preoccupied, it tends to take over their ability to focus on their courses. Not only does stress affect the students' grades, In some severe cases, it can also cause students to drop out of college completely.
The Solution
College S.O.S wants to help relieve stress that college students experience in their daily life. This can be achieved by creating a crowdsourcing app that allows students to ask for support when they are in need of assistance. That task can then be accepted by fellow students using the app. There are many advantages to doing this, the first of which is we can lower the amount of stress on college students by assisting them with tasks they don’t have enough time for or simply don’t know how to complete. We can also help college students by providing a source of income that allows them flexible hours around their hectic schedules.
