The subjects of this study were 891 university students over 3 provision and subjects completed a test of loss experience, Recised Adult Attachment Scale(RAAS), Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire(SACQ). Structural Equation Modeling in AMOS 18.0 and SPSS 19.0 were adopted to examine measurement model and mediating effects of adult attachment by using bootstraping method. The results were as followings; First, male student and high academic garde group showed more higher student adaptation but there were no significant difference by other sociodemograpic factors. Second, loss experiences were significantly affected to the adult attachment. Also adult attachment were significantly affected to the student adaptation. Third, adult attachment partially mediated the association between loss experiences and student adaptation. Based upon these findings, we suggested to improve mental health care of University students and the implications and limitations of these findings were discussed and directions for future studies were also proposed
