Tentative Topic

For my final paper, I am thinking of writing about mental health and its surrounding topics as it relates to college, possibly with a focus on social anxiety/social isolation issues and its effects on a students. I would like to research what different colleges offer to help students struggling with mental health issues, specific cases with students who slipped through the cracks and what went wrong, ways colleges have failed students with mental health problems, and what colleges can do to better be there for their students who need help.

Another possibility is male sexual assault on campus. Things to think about are lack of awareness, the extreme stigma surrounding it, specific cases, etc.
