This study is all about the relationship of academic achievement to academic self efficacy and purpose in life of students who are living in dormitories. 300 participants were asked to answer two tests, the college self efficacy test and the purpose in life test. The academic achievement was measured through the GPA that was later on converted to the numerical value by interpolation. Academic achievement was correlated with purpose in life and college self efficacy separately. The results suggest that academic achievement does not have a relationship with purpose in life and it is not directly related to academic self efficacy.
