The study of the adjustments and expectations of Electronic Engineering freshmen students of Saint Marys University Introduction/background For

years the Saint Marys University had already attracted many high school graduates from all around region two and other neighboring provinces and now became one of the major universities in Nueva Vizcaya. The location of SMU was seen a determinant to find its relationships from expectation and adaptability of SMU ECE freshmen students. This research has been conducted to bring out some useful information pertaining to SMU BS Electronic Engineering freshmens adjustments and their expectation toward their college life. This study will determine how ECE freshmen students adjust and what their expectations as freshmen students of SMU. This study will also provide useful information, solutions, and recommendations with regards to the researchers selected study. Statement of purpose of the study This study aimed to determine how ECE freshmen students of SMU adjust to college environment and their expectations about their college life in SMU.
