Abstract	The purpose of this study is to determine if there are gender differences in the perception of university support. The study is based on a survey of 368 students in a Hong Kong university. The findings of the study are threefold. First, female students perceive the university as being more supportive in their academic adjustment than do male students (t = -4.256, p less than 0.001). Second, male students perceive the university as being more supportive in their social adjustment than do female students (t = 2.156, p less than 0.05). Last, male students perceive the university as being more supportive in their psychological adjustment than do female students (t = 2.401, p less than 0.05). (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided).
