The Princeton Review recently conducted a survey across every state in the U.S as well as 100 countries around the world that explored the hopes and worries that thousands of students and parents experienced surrounding college – and this infographic tells you all that you need to know about the results.

The college application process can be a very stressful time for young applicants and their parents, and knowing more about what to expect, as well as how other people feel, will help you feel less anxious and isolated. Those nervously embarking on the journey may, for example, find comfort in knowing that the majority of students feel that taking the SAT, ACT, or APs is the most challenging part of the college admission process.
