Structuring Support at Elite Institutions: College Adjustment and Satisfaction Among Latinx Transfer Versus Nontransfer Students
Abstract
This paper used survey data to examine the college satisfaction and adjustment of Latinx transfer and nontransfer students. College satisfaction was measured by incorporating academic, institutional resources, and inclusive experience tenets. Multiple linear regression analysis showed two components of college satisfaction were associated positively with students’ college adjustment. First-generation students had lower college satisfaction than their non-first-generation peers. This study enriched existing literature by introducing new tools to examine Latinx transfer and nontransfer college experiences.
