Academic Stress and Harassment: A Study of University Students' Life in Islamabad and Peshawar Campuses

Abstract

This study examines academic stress, harassment, and safety concerns among university students in Islamabad and Peshawar from a constructivist perspective. Utilizing qualitative research methods, including in-depth interviews and document analysis, the study explores how students construct their perceptions of these issues through personal experiences and social interactions. The findings reveal significant impacts on students' well-being and academic performance, highlighting the importance of supportive and responsive institutional policies. By recognizing students as active agents in shaping their experiences, this thesis advocates for targeted interventions to enhance student well-being and campus safety.
