“…Also, an Egyptian study found the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among Egyptian medical students as 63.6, 78.4 and 57.8% respectively [16] . The high prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety among the studied girls could be due to the stresses faced by Saudi females as a result of the cultural and social changes in the Saudi society [23] . Another study explained this in light of the complexity of the Saudi job market for women, which makes choosing a career more difficult [24] .…”

Objectives: This study has been conducted to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among female students at Al-Jouf University, Saudi Arabia and to identify their associated factors. Methods: The present study was descriptive cross sectional conducted among female students enrolled at Al-Jouf University. Two self-administered questionnaires have been used, the first is a structured one for identifying sociodemographic characteristics and risk factors of psychological illness among students, and the second is the Arabic version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS21). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 16. Results: The mean age of the studied students was 21.23 ± 1.50. The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among students was 75.3%, 84.7% and 41.8% respectively. Symptoms of moderate severity were predominant among students considered as having depression while, symptoms of extreme severity were predominant among students considered as having anxiety. Most of the students suffered from double and triple psychological illnesses. Sociodemographic, behavioral and medical factors have been significantly associated with the studied psychological illnesses such as number of sleeping hours per day, feeling loneliness, frequent drinking of coffee and presence of chronic physical and psychological illnesses.

“…While the male lecturer can hear their voices, the male students cannot. This is the case in the majority of the Saudi universities’ majors with the exception of the field of medicine (Alhazmi & Nyland, ; Meijer, ). Hence, the chance of a relationship being created between male and female students is very low.…”

While traditional Saudi Arabian courtship is rigidly structured according to a set of Islamic codes of conduct, over the past decade, Saudis have increasingly turned to unconventional means of finding and courting a potential spouse: matrimonial Web sites. This research explores the debate in the literature on computer meditated communication regarding whether online settings provide rich information about other users, as they show that online interactions can provide more information about the opposite sex for users who belong to gender-segregated societies than they can get through their offline lives.

“…Enrollment of Saudi students in U.S. colleges and universities has nearly tripled since 2009-2010(Institute of International Education, 2013, including an increase of more than 50% in the population of Saudi graduate students between 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. According to the same report, 44,566 male and female Saudi students were studying in the United States in 2012-2013; 9,379 of them were graduate students and most of them in mixed-gender environments.

Saudi student enrollment in U.S. colleges and universities has nearly tripled since 2009-2010, in large part due to the King Abdullah Scholarship Program. The representation of Saudi females is also increasing due to the loosening of Saudi Arabia's long-standing restrictions on women's travel and acceptable fields of study and careers. This constructivist study highlights some of the academic experiences of female Saudi graduate students at a Comprehensive Doctoral University in the western United States. Challenges related to students' insufficient English language skills, differences in their comfort levels interacting with American and Saudi men, positive relationships with both male and female faculty members, and generally positive feelings about their experiences at their university of choice emerged as themes within the data. The participants' varied prior experiences with mixedgendered educational environments led to differing levels of comfort with developing relationships with men.
