For me, the stress level of being a student is about 6.5. There is a lot of work to do but there is also a lot of free time available to hang out with friends. Plus everyone takes cares of you. Your family don't except you to contribute to rent or bills and even gives you money. Your teachers (the good ones) looks after you and mentors you. There's lots of hard things about being a student but a lot of nice things too.

To actually rate it would really underrate what being a student is. I'm going to have to admit that there are times where I feel very stressful. The classes are just getting to me. Then there are times where I do not feel all that stressful at all. Where everything is a breeze and I can just get through each and every class. Breathing easily and getting the work done that needs to be done. So really, I have had everything between a 1 and a 10 on the stress level throughout the years. I'm just going to pick a number at random and say a 6. That seems like about an average assessment. Perhaps a bit under, perhaps a bit over, but in general, that seems to be the case. As I said, the levels of stress vary a lot of the time and its just things that I have to cope with can and will change.

Studying is the most stressful thing on earth. In my opinion of course. I've worked before when I stopped schooling. And I can say that working is easier than studying. Yeah you also have to meet deadlines and do presentations, but for me, it's more motivating since you're earning money for what you do. While in school, of course what you do there will benefit you later on, you'll get to be stressed because of the competition from your classmates, and your terror teachers' expectations.

it's gonna be on the scale of 5. being a student is a lot enjoyable than working. being a student is a combination of both enjoyment and at some time stressful. exams and projects makes you stressful but it is also enjoyable when there a lot of school activities like intramurals, foundation day,parties, etc..don't be scared just enjoy..

i scale it to 5 too, depends on how you take it... There is enjoyment, stress, sincerity, work and many more being a student and you should participate in every one of them only then you will balance and maintain your title. If you manage time and schedule things then there will be no stress :) All de best friend :)

2. I have left my shcool for one month, I really missed there,but I have no chance to go back again. Being a student is very enjoyable, you just need to finish your study, and then you have lot of free time to do anything you want.Also, people around you are in your age ,you have many common topics.oh,my wonderful memories.Enjoy your school life!
