Abstract

Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to use it as a basic data for arbitration development to increase the adaptability of freshmen to college life through the survey of freshmen's college students. Methods/Statistical analysis: The survey was conducted and analyzed on 160 new students on their university life adaptation, including academic adaptation, social adaptation, emotional adaptation, physical adaptation and attachment to college.
