Physical Health & Wellness
When factoring in classes, study sessions, and work schedules, there are times where you may feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. As a result, physical wellness can easily take a back seat. Outside of being physically active, physical wellness is also achieved with a balanced diet and sufficient sleep.

Social Health & Wellness

The sense of belonging will enrich your life and improve your response to stressors in life. Here are some resources USC Joseph F. Rice School of Law offers:
