The mental stresses of college students gain wide attentions from the society currently. In this paper, authors investigate the mental stresses of college students and argue that there are four sources of stresses, namely employment situations, study conditions, personal factors, and economic conditions. It shows a significant positive correlation between employment situations and mental stresses of college students, and a positive correlation between study conditions and mental stresses. Although there is a postive correlation between economic conditions, personal factors and mental stresses respectively, the differences are very prominent for individuals.
