Russian and foreign authors view the phenomenon of adaptation as a factor of successful education-al first year student activity implementation at the stage of their integration into a new learning environment. The conditions that positively or negatively affect this process are considered. The article presents the views of domestic and foreign authors on the advantages and disadvantages of dis-tance learning.
The methods applied in the research are: questioning, testing, comparative data analysis and mathematical processing. The course research was aimed at studying three main issues: self-assessment of first-year student successful adaptation; special features of first-year student adaptation in the conditions of distance learning under pandemic and the assessment of university faculty support. The survey of 184 respondents was conducted via Google Forms.
The analysis of the results of the study presented in the article shows that there was no signif-icant decrease in the level of adaptation of students in the 2020–2021 academic year due to distance learning. First-year students generally experience positive emotional status, noting that they are completely satisfied with distance learning. Many of them recognize it as no less effective than full-time, which makes it possible to judge the prospects of the distance learning format as one of the conditions of first-year students successful adaptation to university educational process.
