Adjustments to College

●

Academic Adjustment- You will most likely be faced with the increased demands of learning in
college.

●

Cultural Adjustment- You also will most likely experience a cultural adjustment just by being
in college because most campuses have their own language (syllabus, registrar, and office
hours, for example) and customs.

●

Emotional Adjustment- A range of emotions will likely be present in some form throughout
your first weeks in college and at stressful times during the semester.

●

Financial Adjustment- Most students understand the investment they are making in their
future by going to college. Even if you have all your expenses covered, there is still an
adjustment to a new way of thinking about what college costs and how to pay for it.

●

Intellectual Adjustment- Through your academic work, you will learn to think differently about
the world around you and your place in it.

●

Social Adjustment- A new place often equals new people. But in college, those new
relationships can have even more meaning.
