Students’ adjustment to the university environment is an important factor in predicting
university outcomes and is crucial to their future achievements. University support to
students’ transition to university life can be divided into three dimensions: academic
adjustment, social adjustment and psychological adjustment. However, these relationships
have not been studied simultaneously in previous studies. The purpose of this
study is to examine the students’ perception on the relationships between two of the
three dimensions. The study is based on a survey of 265 students from five Hong Kong
universities. The findings show that students perceive that (1) social adjustment has a
positive impact on academic adjustment; (2) psychological adjustment has a positive
impact on academic adjustment; and (3) social adjustment has a positive impact on
psychological adjustment. The implications are explored and discussed.
