The transition from secondary school to higher education requires new students to adjust across academic, social, and emotional domains. This review examines the role of social support in the psychological condition of new students by synthesizing eight prior studies. The findings show that social support from family, peers, and significant others plays an important role in enhancing college adjustment, reducing academic anxiety, and improving psychological well-being and self-esteem among new students. Self-adjustment was found to mediate the relationship between social support and psychological well-being. Family support tends to have a more stable influence than support from friends or significant others, although peer and mentor support remain important, particularly for students living away from family, such as those residing in Islamic boarding school dormitories (ma'had). This review concludes that strengthening social support systems from family, peers, and educational institutions should be part of strategies to maintain the psychological well-being of new students
