Transition from secondary school to university is a vital experience
that affects students in very different ways. The first year at the university carries
considerable challenges for every student, not only academically but also
personally. For those who enrolled in higher education, this becomes a
transitional period that essentially marks a distinguishable moment in their lives
and in their academic career (Mutch, 2005). Today, access to higher education
is much more possible than it was before, due to this fact, institutions are open to
a more diverse student body coming from very different backgrounds making this
process in some way, harder for all the parties involved, students and institutions.
Unfortunately, most students are poorly prepared for this great step in their lives
(Soundy, 2016; Chacon, 2015; Swanger, 2016). This adventure requires students
to adapt to a new mentality that involves more commitment and responsibility,
but in order to make a successful transition, students must be specially
accompanied and supported by their institutions. The aim of this study is to
observe how this transition process has been for the students enrolled in the
Bachelor’s degree in English Studies at Universitat Jaume I. First and second
year students were asked to participate in an online survey where they were
probed with questions related to their own personal experience and perspective
on the process of transition and adaptation to the university. The results revealed
that they are adapted and coping well with their studies. However, in spite of this,
they would have appreciated having more guidance and information; especially
at the beginning. [-]
