1)Define recent "1 day" "1 week" "1 year" "10 years".

2)Univesity students have 3 main issues broadly speaking imho.

  2a.Future Prospects - What are the trends in the Job Market/economy?

  2b.Present Well-being - Are they studying in a healthy environment?

  2c.Past Experiences - Are they well adjusted/groomed for university life?
My hypothesis is that any missing links might cause a noticable decline in sociological and psychological evaluation of a "indiviual student" .

For the general student population,You can find literature from Experts who are far more competent than me since various other variables might also be linked which I am not aware of.

What I mean is, what are the students' attitudes in life? What do they want to do? What don't they want to do?
Parent of university student here, so n=1

They want approximately what everyone wants at that age: meaningful experiences, meaningful work, somewhere affordable and safe to live, a functioning future, etc. Where they differ is in their confidence that they'll ever attain any of those things.
