Abstract :

The importance of transition and adjustment of students in the first year is interesting to study, and this paper examines the role of campus dormitories in assisting first year students in their transition and adjustment. There are several articles on reviews of transitions and adjustment of first-year students to be found. The purpose of this review is to find out the role of dormitories in the transition and adjustment period of first year students. Based on the results of a literature review, we found that campus dormitories can help students in transitioning and adjusting to their first year.
