Abstract
A MANCOVA was used to examine the global adjustment differences in first generation college students (FGCSs) attending a four year and a two year college. Global adjustment differences were measured by adaptation to college, global well-being, and global self-esteem. Participants were from either a medium sized public four year college in the Midwest or a medium sized public two year college in the Midwest. There were no significant differences found between the two groups in regard to overall adjustment to the college environment.
