Why this Matters
Tech majors are tough: long coding sessions, constant comparison (“everyone else gets it”), and tight deadlines. Without early support, stress can turn into isolation, slipping grades, or a major switch.
Spot it early → prevent crisis and keep momentum
Miss the signs → risk failing classes or dropping out
Timing is tight → signs often show by week 4; struggles peak around midterms
Act now → use the scripts and timeline to step in with confidence
