Abstract: kistan. The ultimate goal of this research is to explore the correlation between social adjustment of international students and their self-esteem (SE). Sample of the study comprised international students (N=204) who studied there in different institutes of Pakistan. For measuring social adjustment, Student Adjustment to Collage Questionnaire (SACQ) developed by R. W. Baker and B. Siryk in 1989 was adapted. To measure students self-esteem (SE), Renieose questionnaire (2017) was adopted. The findings of this research show that the international students had high self-esteem with the highest score on self-regard and lowest with social relations. They had high level of adjustment with the highest score on attachment and lowest on academic adjustment. Finally, there was a significant relationship between Social adjustment and self-esteem of international students.
