This study investigated the effects of locus of control and other predictors on personal-emotional and social adjustment to community college in English-language-learner students. Results indicated that locus of control was significantly associated with both social adjustment and personal-emotional adjustment. Students with more external locus of control showed better adjustment to college. Stress and being first in the family to attend college significantly predicted personal-emotional adjustment, while having precollege friends attending the same college was significantly related to social adjustment. Implications for research and service programs are discussed.
