College students who completed an 8-week meditation program showed a significant reduction in perceived stress, measured by the Perceived Stress Scale, along with improved emotional regulation, focus, and academic performance. The findings suggest meditation is an effective, low-cost tool for managing stress and promoting mental health in academic settings. Further research is recommended on long-term effects and applicability across diverse student populations.
