Many students said the atmosphere during the protest felt tense and uncomfortable. When students try to raise concerns about major financial and academic issues, they expect calm dialogue and reassurance. Instead, many felt the situation became aggressive and stressful. Videos and discussions online made students feel the communication environment was not as open and comfortable as they expected. This created fear and hesitation about speaking openly. Even the perception of an uncomfortable communication environment can reduce trust significantly. Students expected supportive dialogue but instead felt anxious and unheard.
