Abstract
This qualitative focus group study examined the experiences of undergraduate students as they transitioned into an institution of higher learning. A purposeful nominated sample of 15 first-semester freshmen students were selected for the study. This focus group study consisted of open-ended, in-depth interview questions, which were audio and videotaped, then transcribed verbatim. The analysis of the data for the study was based on Denzin's (1978) method of researcher description. The conclusions of the investigation showed that spirituality is an important, active, and personal process for each student individually and an important part of the freshman's life as he or she enters into the institution of higher learning.
