They managed to cope with regards to social and recreational activities, social-psychosocial relations as well as adjustment to college work. The result also presented the significance of mothers' educational attainment to the social adjustment of the college students. This means that mothers play very important role in molding their children in terms of coping with different kinds of environment and situations. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations were made: For the teachers, it is important for them to find the reason why some students do not participate well in class activities.
They should maintain a friendly approach and encourage them to study and socialize. The school should implement programs that will promote socialization among the students especially with regards to their adjustment on the school environment. The administrators of the school should also consider holding seminars that will improve the parents' knowledge and skills that would provide the awareness level of the parents regarding their children's social adjustment.
