Abstract

College adjustment is a common phenomenon among students in Indonesia. Active participation in university community activities and building good relationships can assist students in adjusting. The perception of being meaningful to the college community, namely mattering to college, can help students build a good college community environment and help students' college adjustment. The phenomenon of college adjustment in college students has been discovered quite a few times. Students at various universities in Indonesia were found to experience difficulties in adjusting due to the transition from school to college and difficulties in adjusting in various aspects. This research aims to evaluate the relationship between mattering to college and college adjustment in active first-year and second-year bachelor's degree students in Indonesia. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 220  first-year and second-year students in Indonesia using correlational research methods. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between mattering to college and college adjustment in students (r = 507, p = <.0.01).
