Abstract	This study explores the readjustment process among first-year students in the English department by focusing on the impact of gender, age, attendance, and academic performance. The transition from high school to university represents a critical period in students’ academic and personal development. Many students relocate from their hometowns or commute for classes and exams, as attendance is not mandatory. Socioeconomic factors influence students’ access to scholarships and university dormitories, with priority often given to female students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Given the open-access nature of faculties of letters, the English department enrolls a large number of students. This study surveyed 121 English department students using an adapted online questionnaire based on convenience sampling. Using SPSS 26, the statistical findings indicate significant differences in readjustment based on gender and attendance frequency, with additional correlations between readjustment, age, and academic performance. These results highlight the need for enhanced orientation programs to support first-year English department students in their transition to university life.
