description The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between leisure satisfaction and adjustment to university life among students. The study included students studying at Akdeniz University Central Campus in Antalya. The sample group consisted of 111 male (mean age = 21.982±2.753) and 139 female (mean age = 21.640±4.462) students who participated voluntarily. The convenience sampling technique was used to reach the sample. The Leisure Satisfaction Scale, the University Adjustment Scale, and the personal information form were used to collect the data. As a result of the analysis, two significant canonical correlations were and the significant contributions of the variables to these canonical functions are at a .45 significance level. The results showed that as psychological, educational, social, physical, and aesthetic satisfaction in the leisure satisfaction dataset increased, students' institutional and personal-emotional adjustment to the university also increased. In addition, it was determined that as relaxation, aesthetic, educational, physical, and psychological satisfaction in the leisure satisfaction data set increased, students' social adjustment also increased. According to the findings of the study, it is recommended that universities should increase leisure time activities and improve physical conditions to ensure students' adaptation to the university.
