The junction between the last year of high school and the first year in higher education is a pivotal moment in a life course. The advent of first responsibilities can generate new anxieties. Many struggle to find a healthy rhythm of life while fulfilling these new obligations, whether administrative, academic or professional. These issues are far from new and have been faced by countless young people from previous generations. However, they alone cannot explain a significant deterioration in the living conditions of young people. Students discover the specificities of the academic experience and its difficulties, but also gradually gain residential and financial autonomy. On the academic level, recent periods of confinement have interrupted direct interactions with teachers and student sociability. However, they are major factors of social integration and academic success. Traditional lesson formats have been replaced by written or recorded lessons online, making learning more complex for some. Many students struggle to follow distance learning courses or to appropriate teaching materials without outside help, which contributes to an increase in stress related to studies and academic success.
