The authors present results of an annual study of indicators of adaptation of first-year students at Gorno-Altaisk State University. The study is organized and conducted by psychologists from the University’s Center for Social and Psychological Assistance. For its implementation, a number of methods have been selected to identify the level of general adaptability (neuropsychiatric stability, communicative features, moral normality, anxiety level, self-esteem, social isolation, conflict, dominant state, manifestations of suicidal reactions, stress tolerance level. In addition, special attention is paid to the program of adaptation of first-year students to the conditions of study at the university.
