The purpose of this study is to explore how queer women, or people that identify with the label ‘woman’, navigate their casual sexual experiences while attending college or university. Previous studies acknowledge that, while college campuses are arenas for sexual experimentation and identity development for many young adults, students across gender and sexual identities engage with these experiences in both similar and unique ways. Data for this study came from twelve semi-structured interviews with undergraduate and graduate college-attending queer students. These data were analyzed using thematic analysis with a queer theory perspective to broaden the understanding of how sex takes place on campus. By considering experiences beyond the traditional gender binary and heteronormative assumptions, this research suggests more inclusive sexual health and safety practices and recommendations to ensure effective public health and safety for all college students. / Master of Science / The purpose of this study is to explore how queer women, or people that identify with the label 'woman', navigate their casual sexual experiences while attending college or university. Previous studies acknowledge that, while college campuses are arenas for sexual experimentation and identity development for many young adults, students across gender and sexual identities engage with these experiences in both similar and unique ways. Data for this study came from twelve semi-structured interviews conducted from October 2024 to January 2025. The twelve interviewees were undergraduate or graduate college-attending queer students that identified as queer and as a woman or identified closely with the term 'woman'. The data contain information regarding how they identified with womanhood and queerness, and the data details how each participant has interacted with campus sex culture. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis with a queer theory perspective to broaden the understanding of how sex takes place on campus. By considering experiences beyond the traditional gender binary and heteronormative assumptions, this research suggests more inclusive sexual health and safety practices and recommendations to ensure effective public health and safety for all college students.

Background: Physical activity and perceived stress affect college- and university students health.  Aim: The aim is to study the association between physical activity and perceived stress among college- and university students in Sweden, and to investigate whether gender, age, and BMI are confounding factors regarding the association between physical activity and perceived stress.   Method: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among the study population students. The analytical approaches chosen were descriptive analysis, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. Results: According to the correlation analysis, there was a small negative significant association between physical activity and perceived stress. According to the regression analysis, there was a small negative significant association between physical activity and perceived stress, which remained after considering gender, age, and BMI. Discussion: The association between high physical activity and low perceived stress can be explained by the protective impact physical activity has on health. Conclusions: There was an association between physical activity and perceived stress among college- and university students. The association between physical activity and perceived stress among college- and university students remained after controlling for gender, age, and BMI.
