Professionals who work in higher education and investigate issues such as student adjustment, attrition, retention, and success have focused on various aspects of academia. Steps have been taken at many colleges/universities to engage students in a satisfying experience at the university both academically and socially in order to assist in students’ adjustment to university life, thus, retaining the majority of students who have entered into the higher education system. Peer mentoring groups, professor mentoring groups, tutoring services, student employment assistance, internship assistance, academic advising, first-generation support groups, personal counseling and disability accommodation services are just a few of the many services offered at most universities which focus on helping students toward successful transition and navigation through the complexity of the university. The present paper reviews school adjustment in relation to parenting style and self-efficacy.
