From dorm room decorating to emotional goodbyes, the first days of college can be as overwhelming as they are unforgettable. According to the American College Health Association, nearly 60 percent of first-year students report feeling consistently stressed during their first semester. For parents, the emotional rollercoaster is real, too: 70 percent say they feel anxious or emotionally taxed during move-in weekend. To help ease the transition, Graduate by Hilton has partnered with Calm, an app, to help people sleep more, stress less and live more mindfully, to support students and families both emotionally and mentally this back-to-school season.
Guests can also explore Calm’s new “Back-to-School Collection,” curated with content and tools for both audiences:
- Students – Tools to manage social anxiety, focus better and get more sleep
- Parents – Techniques to ease separation stress and support their own well-being
Families can take advantage of the “Calm Family Plan,” which includes six accounts for one low price, to help the whole household stay centered year-round.
Together, the two brands offer thoughtful support at a moment when students and parents alike are navigating big transitions—and big feelings. Until October 3, 2025, select Graduate properties will also feature a limited-edition “Mindful Latte” at Poindexter Coffee, their signature café. Guests who order the signature Lavender Honey Latte will receive a free month of Calm Premium, unlocking access to Calm’s full content library, including meditations, focus tracks, sleep content, and more.
