Recent calls to prioritize mental health discussions in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathemathics (STEM) have gained momentum, driven by alarming reports on the prevalence of issues within STEM disciplines. Research has extensively studied anxiety depression both graduate undergraduate students, but there been little focus overall life science undergraduates. We examined how students perceive support for their classes, major influences health, manage these challenges. To investigate ideas, we conducted semistructured interviews with 20 at a commuter, primarily institution diverse student body. Our findings indicate that most prioritized academics expense wellness perceived lack from instructors. Despite challenges, some used various strategies maintain many remained committed degrees, viewing pursuit as worthwhile despite its adverse effects health. These underscore critical need more comprehensive sustained education, ensuring are not only academically successful also emotionally resilient well supported.
