About Well-Being
Your well-being is fundamental to your success as a Methodist University student. University life comes with its challenges — academic deadlines, social pressures, and personal responsibilities — but prioritizing your well-being is essential. By maintaining physical health, building mental resilience, fostering meaningful relationships, and finding balance, you can thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
At Methodist University, we are committed to engaging you in a holistic approach to well-being, enriching your university experience, and empowering you to own your personal growth. This page provides links to campus and community resources aligned with eight dimensions of well-being, along with tools to help you navigate and enhance your journey.

“I’m not the same person I was when I first came to campus. MU taught me so many lessons that have made me a better person. I’m thankful that MU not only prepared me for a full-time job, but that it gave me a sense of community.”
