Along with archetypal symbols, it bestows form, volume, and color. It also gives a location identity and makes people feel more a part of it. Investigating the function and influence of archetypal architecture on female students' social adaptation to place among female students of a conservatoire in Karaj. The goal of the current study was applied, and the methodology (pre-test, post-test with control group) was semi-experimental. All of the girls' conservatory students in Karaj made up the study's statistical population; 15 of them were split into the experimental and control groups based on the random sampling. A questionnaire served as the study's primary data collection tool, and the data was analyzed using the analysis of covariance method and SPSS statistical analysis software. According to the findings, archetypal architecture has an impact on the social adaptation and sense of attachment among female students at Karaj Conservatoire. As a result, school administrators are advised to implement archetypal architecture in their buildings to help students feel more attached and adapted to their surroundings.
