Final exams began Sunday in Madison, and college students across the city are cramming for tests, typing out essays and downing enough caffeine to keep campuses buzzing. So to cut down on some of the stress their finals can cause, local schools are offering a little pampering, whether it?s with massages, free coffee or visits from therapy dogs….According to Rob Sepich, a stress management specialist at UW-Madison’s University Health Services, a small amount of stress can help students at finals time. Too much of it, however, can hurt their ability to concentrate and compromise their immune systems.
