Building a Healthy Campus: 6 Wellness Tips for University Students
University life can be both exciting and stressful. At Riphah International University, we believe in nurturing not only the academic but also the physical and mental well-being of our students. Here are six wellness strategies every student should adopt for a healthier campus life.
1. Prioritize Sleep and Rest
Getting 7–8 hours of quality sleep is essential for concentration, memory retention, and emotional balance. Avoid all-night study sessions before exams and instead develop a consistent sleep schedule.
2. Stay Physically Active
Whether it’s joining the campus gym, going for a walk, or playing sports, regular physical activity boosts mood and energy levels. Riphah offers various fitness and sports facilities to keep students active and engaged.
3. Eat Balanced Meals
Healthy eating improves cognitive performance. Avoid relying solely on fast food — incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your diet. Our on-campus cafeterias now offer healthier menu options.
“Well-being is the foundation of academic excellence. We strive to create a campus where students feel safe, supported, and healthy.”
Dr. Saqib Khursheed, Campus Health Coordinator
Riphah University’s commitment to holistic student development includes workshops on mindfulness, free medical clinics, and mental health counseling. Wellness is more than a goal — it’s a culture we’re building, together.
