Becoming pregnant while in college can be one of the most difficult times for young people. Paths of education and careers have been chosen, and time, money, and often family sacrifice have been devoted to achieving life goals. If the pregnancy is unplanned but supported by the baby's father, the mother's family, or the mother herself, staying in school through the pregnancy and while parenting is an option in many cases. Some campuses offer childcare for their students who are parenting.
In the case of desertion or denial by the baby's father, lack of support from the mother's family, and if the mother herself does not wish to become a parent at this time, an unplanned pregnancy can quickly turn into a crisis. College students have many resources and options that weren't available in the past, including confidential counseling through the office of student affairs or campus ministries during the decision-making process, health resources through school infirmaries, and counseling afterwards, if adoption is chosen.
