The transition period from high school to university may generate pressure towards students (Gall, Evans, & Bellerose, 2000). Therefore, a form of adaptation is needed, which is called college adjustment.  The pressure may cause students to adapt poorly and may cause side effects such as stress and depression. College adjustment problems are important because they relate with academic problems and dropout rate (Backhaus, 2009). Self-compassion may act as a buffer towards negative effects from that pressure and made the adaptation process easier (Terry, Leary, & Mehta, 2013). In this study, Self-compassion was measured using an adaptation form of Self-Compassion Scale by Neff (2003), and college adjustment was measured using an adaptation form of Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire by Baker and Siryk (1984). The participants of this study were 373 first year college students of University of Indonesia. Using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation method, main results of this study showed self-compassion was not significantly related with college adjustment (r = .076, p = .142) on first year college students.
