Based on the findings, the following are the conclusions drawn from the study:

The stress experienced by most of the freshmen architecture students falls underthe category of the Medium Level of Stress. This states that the students, based

on the definition of the Medium Level of Stress, are capable of managing andhandling the stress they are experiencing through dealing with their stressors.

The top three stressors contributing to the stress of the respondents are Fear offailure, Examination, and Lack of time for relaxation. Due to the level of difficultyof the respondents course and the strictness of the rules in which their course is

founded upon, fear of failure is natural. Examination, being one of the majorfactors affecting the students grade and average, jives with the negative feelingbrought by the fear of failure. The unfavorable effect by the first two stressorslogically requires the individual to prepare for the requirements brought by thecourse, evidently leading to Lack of time for relaxation.

Headache, Sleep problems and Fatigue are the effects of stress with the threehighest grades which determines that these are the most common outcomes ofstress that the students experience.

argument and concept, and use this research as one of their basis and/orreferences. They may use alternative data sets, the links of the study connectingit with the other fields, and conduct different methods applied to the same data.

Future researchers may conduct interviews or group discussions to determinethe specific effect of each level of stress to the studys respondents.

Future researchers may add other information, provided that these are based onor proven to be a fact, supporting the studys findings and conclusions.

The School should have programs or symposiums to guide and aid studentsregarding the different issues of stress. The school should let the students knowthat certain people and professionals are available to help them in battling withstress. It is important that the students are aware of any help they can manage to

receive.

Respondents should learn how to manage time properly. Managing time enablesan individual to perform efficiently thus, decreasing the impact of stress.

Faculty members should be considerate regarding the amount of school works

they assign and give to their students. The faculty should have a system toprevent certain school work pileups, or have a maximum number of assignedtasks and work in a given period of time.
