The relationship between living environment, gender and both overall adjustment to college and social adjustment in freshmen students was examined in this study. The College Adjustment Scales were administered to 511 freshmen students living in on-campus housing. There were 259 students living in Freshmen Year Experience (FYE) Halls verses 252 students living in traditional residence halls that participated in the research. The overall adjustment level and social adjustment scale was utilized to compare overall and social adjustment levels based on gender and type of living environment. Males were found to have a significantly higher overall adjustment levels than females regardless of living environment. However, when freshmen males and females in the FYE halls were compared there was no significant difference in their levels of overall adjustment. There was a significant difference in social based on type of residence hall with students in the FYE halls having a significantly better level of social adjustment than students in the traditional residence hall group. This manuscript addresses the relationship between gender and living environment on the social adjustment of college students. (Contains 4 tables.)
