This study was conducted to determine the general overview of stress and its impact on students which viewed from daily life events. Stress is an individual response to the presence of stressor (Mulhall, 1996, in Barnes & Montefuscio, 2011). In the context of students, there are four sources of stress: interpresonal, intrapersonal, academic, and environmental (Ross, Niebling, & Heckert, 2008) and also four aspects of stress effect: physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral (Bressert, 2016). The sample of this research are Faculty of Psychology students, Universitas Indonesia. A total of 67 psychology college students was participated by filling out an open question survey about stressful events and its impacts over the past five days. The results show that most of students have more than one type of stressor and have more than one aspect of stress effect. Most of stressors comes from intrapersonal (29.3%), i.e. financial condition (23%) and responsibility in campus organization (20%). In addition, the results showed that stress had the greatest impact on the physical aspect (32%). The most commonly felt by students is fatigue and weakness (21.1%).
