College years are a key period for the individual students, and the training of the students’ ability of social adaptation is a must during the education process. On one hand, students in an independent college have many common features with the modern college students, while on the other hand, they have certain unique characteristics, such as passivity in learning, low ability of self-management, low self-esteem, and higher pressure in seeking occupations. What’s more, they also have extremely poor performance in their social adaptations, which also need further enhancement and improvement. It has been proved that expanding trainings are beneficial to students’ adaptability to the society.Expanding training is a comprehensive course that emphasizes the overall development of the student. This course integrates knowledge and teaching contents of many different fields, such as education, psychology, physical science, outdoor exercises and self-saving in emergencies, etc. Different colleges have differences in their emphasis and teaching contents.Students’ adaptation to the college includes adapting to the living conditions, learning environment, and interpersonal relationships, and then finding the connecting point between college and society.

Different research methods are used here including literature review, interview and experiments. Different abilities of social adaptation are uncovered by using the Reference Table of Social Adaptability.
