This study explores the relationships among academic stress, ego-resilience, major satisfaction, and college life adjustment in nursing transfer students, aiming to identify key factors influencing their adaptation to college life. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 106 nursing transfer students at two universities in B City between October and November 2024. Statistical analyses performed using SPSS/WIN 26.0 revealed that academic stress (β= -.608, p< .001), ego-resilience (β= .259, p= .001), and peer relationships (β= .189, p< .001) significantly influenced college life adjustment, collectively accounting for 78.9% of the variance. Academic performance, peer relationships, and future role expectations also influenced adjustment levels. Notably, academic stress demonstrated a strong negative correlation with college life adjustment (r=-.845, p<.001), whereas ego-resilience (r=.782, p<.001) and major satisfaction (r=.626, p<.001) were positively correlated. These findings highlight the critical need to reduce academic stress and strengthen ego-resilience and peer relationships to facilitate successful adaptation among nursing transfer students. Tailored support systems and intervention programs are essential for promoting both academic success and personal growth.
