The present study examined the effect of gender on stressful experiences of first year students in one selected public university in Kenya. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to guide data collection. The participants were one hundred and ninety eight first year students (198) at one university. Quantitative data was obtained using Stress Questionnaire. Inferential analysis by use of independent t-test was used to test hypothesis. The findings indicated that there are significant gender differences in stressful experiences on academic demands, psychological and social relationship and financial difficulties among the first year university students. Therefore, this implies that Dean of students at universities should design support mechanisms to support female students in coping with stressors as new students.

The article presents the initial stage of research conducted at the Department of English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University in Brno. The aim of the research is to examine the departmental students’ intercultural competence (IC) at the beginning of their studies (autumn 2011), compare it with their level of IC at the end of their studies (autumn 2016) and investigate the influences that played a role in their IC development. In this paper, only the initial stage of the research is presented, i.e. examining the students’ IC at the beginning of the studies. The Intercultural Development Inventory®, version 3, was used for the purposes of the research. Since this instrument is not currently being used for academic or corporate purposes in the Czech (or Slovak) Republic, a secondary aim of the article is to introduce it to the wider academic community. The results indicate that students tend to overestimate their level of IC, and find themselves in ethnocentric stages of intercultural development at the beginning of their university studies.

The aim of the research conducted in the academic year 2012/2013 was to diagnose the behaviour of full-time first year students of the University of Zielona Góra in relation to the requirements of a healthy lifestyle considered in this work in terms of the interest in acquiring and widening students’ knowledge on health. The author used a diagnostic survey method and collected questionnaires filled in by 352 students (including: 250 women – 71% and 102 men – 29%). Majority of the respondents (79% of all the respondents, including 80% of women and 75% of men) expressed their wish to participate in optional classes dedicated to at least one of 25 offered topics. There were two topics which were of the greatest interest both among women and men: ’First Aid in Emergency Cases’ (47% of respondents chose the topic) and ’Nutrition Hygiene and basics of Nutrition’ (38%).
