People think deeply about what they are and what their identities are through various experiences during their university days, and it is essential to feel adapted to and content with university life to make the university days meaningful. This study examines the effects of leisure time, how much time is spent on leisure, and life adaptability or satisfaction regarding university. The first purpose is to clarify how much time is spent and on what during the Golden Week, which is a Japanese term for several holidays between the end of April and early May.

The survey was conducted among 98 university students (48 male and 50 female) in mid-May of 2016.
