College Students Need Remedial Classes in How to Be Adults

Is 18 years enough time to prepare for the stresses of being an adult? For America’s increasingly fragile college students—thousands of whom are returning to campus in the next two weeks—the answer is a panic-stricken no.

East Carolina University, for instance, will provide optional stress-management classes: or, as one news site described it, remedial education in how to be an adult.
