The study investigated the role of relocating on the mental health, psychosocial stress, and social support of 159 first- and second-year Latinx college students.

Implications for college readiness organizations and universities with commuter populations are discussed. Future directions to enhance the understanding of Latinx students’ transitionary experiences are also reviewed.
