It was determined that there were some differences in students who were living on campus versus those who were at home with their families and STEM students spoke about their frustrations with the Module system. The results suggested the need for further research to investigate what factors contribute to increased stress levels in the BIPOC community in order to help students cope better in the educational setting.en-USPsychologyEducationStress and the PandemicThe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on BIPOC versus White students' mental healthThesisrestricted
