What are some services at college that help students mentally and emotionally ?

Students at college are often away from their families, their support networks, so what services do colleges have to act as that network? Do colleges have services that step in when students have stress induced panic attacks of students suffer mental illnesses? #management

How do you know what you want to do with your life?

At 18 students are often forced to think about what they want to do for the REST of their lives. How do they know if what they are passionate about now will make a good career choice for them or if it they will even like their major a year later ?
