Conclusions are drawn from the reported conflicts of 112 students who consulted the clinician in a rural eastern state university of 2000 students. It is postulated that no matter what emotional problems previously existed, they are translated into conflict about the predominant campus values of social success and career security. Lack of physical attractiveness is most damaging to the self-image and is associated with the most severe maladjustments. Greek students are handicapped by a bilingual background and by the conflict between the parental culture and college culture. They are pathologically anxious about both career security and social success. Many of the other students are content with a passive, mediocre position in home and school. Those with special abilities compensate for social success by purposeful career striving. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
