The study also attempted to find out the relationship between college adjustment, emotional intelligence and creativity abilities, in addition to, verifying the exiatence of differences in college adjustment and its sub dimensions due to the effect of gender (male-female) and academic major (theoretical - scientific) and the reaction between them. From Assiut university 243 undergraduates participated in this study, (males = 108 (44.4%) and females = 135 (55.6%). Their ages ranged from 18-24 with a mean age = 20.46 and SD = 1.38. The results of the study showed that it was possible to predict college adjustment through both emotional intelligence and creativity abilities. The results also indicated that there were differences between the mean scores of the students with high and low emotional intelligence and creativity abilities with their sub dimensions of the college adjustment scale in the Scale of College Adjustment. Moreover, a statistically significant relationship between the scores of emotional intelligence and creative abilities with their dimensions and college adjustment scores where (P ≤ 0.01).
