Abstract—This paper aims to investigate the state of mental health of the students at City College of Calamba in the Philippines regardless of their gender. Using a quantitative approach, four hundred eighty-seven (487) college students responded with the validated questionnaire known as the College Adjustment Scale Assessment tool which was acquired by the institution was utilized. With the average mean of 1.9255 which is interpreted as “Low Risk” means that majority of the students in the institution appear to be dealing with typically pleasant mental state. It further implies that the respondents do not have significant or worrisome levels of mental health issues on average regardless of their gender. While individual experiences may vary, this overall low-risk rating suggests that, as a group, these college students are coping rather well with the numerous pressures and challenges that frequently accompany the college experience. Their mental health looks to be stable, and they may not be experiencing severe anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions at levels that would cause immediate worry.
