Wellbeing
Wellbeing is about how you're doing as a whole person. From physical health to stress relief, Champlain College provides support to help you live well.
Don’t just survive college, LIVE WELL
Let’s get real. Transitioning to college is exciting, but it can also be a little crazy. In fact, it should be! You’re here to do big, new things and sometimes, those things are hard.
Over the next four years, you¡¯ll face challenges. Life after college will be tough at times, too. But you are not alone. Champlain has thought long and hard about helping you live well through it all.
