In psychology, there are a lot of definitions of the term “stress”. The basic definition of the concept of stress is given by Hans Selye. He identified it as a non-specific system of adaptive response of the body deviating from the usual conditions of existence. In other words, stress – it is a reaction to novelty.

As we know, the student's life is filled with not only a sense of freedom and responsibility, but also with tension, anxiety, and even disorders. Almost every student went through a situation, where he or she experienced stress as eustress and distress. But some students don’t know the kinds of stress, so under the stress they figure out only about negative stress.

This study is aimed to the audience of KAZGUU University, namely, second-year students of Higher School of Economics. The reason for this is the first-year students that do not fully perceive their situation. Students of the third and fourth years know what to expect. The second course students are the ideal option to participate in this survey, "How stressed are students of KAZGUU university?" Firstly, they already have some understanding of what is meant by the word “session”. Secondly, in the first year they passed comprehensive disciplines. Thirdly, in the second year they learned something new in their selected fields.

This survey consists of 10 points and questions. The survey involved 40 students, 35 are females and 5 males. 37 students out of 40, whose age ranges from 17 years to 19, and the rest 3 are students from 20 years and above. The "Profession” column shows that the 42% of students passed this survey are from "Finance" department, which is 17 people. 11 people, 27% are students of the "Psychology" department.

The next task is the question "Is it difficult to study for you?" 20 students (50%) answered "sometimes" for this question, 43% answered "yes" and the remaining 7%, which is 3 people chose the answer "no."

"Do you worry about the grades?" To this question 75%, that is 30 people answered "yes" and 8 students (20%) answered "sometimes".

If we talk about the subjects of the second year, several disciplines can be distinguished to stress students. The first place is "Mathematics", then "Finance" and "Accounting". Also, it should be noted that only 1 student (2%) did not experience stress and 3 students (7%) experienced stress at all subject.

The question "how often do you experience stress?" 71% of students, namely 29 people answered "yes", and 29% of students answered "no".

The last point of this survey was to answer the question "How do you fight against stress?" The diagram shows that 30% responded "other". In this question they could write their comments. About 4 people have written that they don’t get rid of stress, some students wrote that they watch different TV shows, movies, reading books, someone even relaxes by smoking and working.

Based on the above, it must be concluded that the second-year students of the High School of Economics of KAZGUU University are subjected to stress. The research showed that the stress is on average level and it is a very satisfied result.
