This paper is a subjectivity study to grasp the subjectivity of nursing students' adaptation to college life, describe characteristics of each type, and to grasp the typology of college life adaptation program experiences, and apply the Q. into 45 statements about their experiences in adapting to college life. For the statement, 45 sentences extracted from the literature and the sentence collected through interviews of college students were reviewed by two major professors, two doctoral students, and five nursing students. The collected data were analyzed for Q factors using the PQ method. As a result of  this  study, the analysis of college life adaptation programs experienced by nursing students was divided into three types. The three types of nursing college students' experience of adapting to college life are “Career Exploration”, “Information Acquisition Necessary for Adaptation” and “Sense of belonging and accomplishment” . It is a feeling of belonging and a sense of achievement. This aims to help nursing students explore their experiences in college life adaptation programs, and various college life adaptation programs are continuously needed for college students to adapt to college life. Therefore, we intend to check the subjective perception of students who have experienced the adaptation program in college life and provide basic data for the development and operation of diverse and changing programs through differences in perception among individuals.
