Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the college adjustment of freshmen who have been through the COVID-19 pandemic, and develop strategies for improving academic programs. The results indicated that the factors influencing college adjustment were high school type, academic major, college dropout plan, and sense of belonging to the university. Specifically, students who wanted their major as their top priority showed higher adjustment to college life than students whose major was undetermined, and students who did not plan to drop out showed higher adjustment to college life than students who planned to drop out. In addition, it was analyzed that the more they felt a sense of belonging to the university, the better they adjusted to college life. In particular, the sense of belonging to the university was found to be the most influential factors affecting college adjustment. This study suggested that it is necessary to establish a support system(e.g., FYE) and expand various programs to help students.
