Abstract
Assimilation style plays a significant role in how college students adapt, integrate, and respond to academic, social, and cultural environments. The present study aims to examine the assimilation style among college students and understand how they adjust to new learning experiences, peer interactions, and institutional culture. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from a sample of 1023 college students using a structured questionnaire on assimilation style. The study explores different dimensions of assimilation, including cognitive, social, emotional, and academic adaptation. The findings are expected to provide insights into the level of assimilation among students and the factors influencing their adjustment in higher education settings. The results of this study may help educators and administrators design effective strategies to support students’ integration and overall well-being in college environments. The formulated hypotheses and objectives were tested using appropriate statistical technique t-test and F-Test Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
