It can be both a fun and stressful period in a person’s life. There is pressure to get good grades, cooperate with new people, and manage the many freedoms that accompany college life. And if this all wasn’t enough, it changes from semester to semester. Transitions and changes come with the territory. A college student must be able to move outside their comfort zone.


What is the meaning of territory used here?

@fansy,
"Comes with the territory" is a phrase. It means that something is included with something else. I believe that the phrase originated from sales. A salesman would be assigned an area in which he would sell his products. That area would be called a "territory." Anything that would be included with the assignment of that territory (such as an office or a car) would be said to "come with the territory."
