Abstract: The study attempted to see the psycho-social problems of female students at private higher institutions. More specifically, it was designed to explore the level of their general self-esteem and problems they faced in the formation of intimate friends. The study also examined the association between psycho-social problems and academic performance. Sample female students from Saint Mary’s and Royal Colleges were the subjects of the study. The paper was grounded in qualitative analysis. The results of the study indicated that female students seemed to have favourable self-esteem. However, they appeared to rank themselves below average in social skills. Lack of professional supports, inconsistent treatments, perceived assumptions and reflected appraisals were some of the major factors that might affect the psycho-social states of female students in private institutions. Furthermore, the study suggested that there might be certain association between psycho-social problems and academic performance.
