Abstract
Patterns of well-being and adjustment and correlates of these were examined at two colleges (N=247). Three groups emerged: Well-Adjusted (32%), Students Showing Signs of Stress (26%), and Students at Risk (34%). Results suggest that a large number of students struggle with motivation, worry about finances, and question their career choices.
