- Annotation: The article deals with the problem of subjective well-being as an important component of the psychological well-being of an individual. The degree of satisfaction with life among university students enrolled in different areas of training is analysed; the specificity of subjective perception by first-year students of their own success in various spheres of life is revealed. The study involved 230 first-year students of Kostroma State University, enrolled in four different areas of study. The results of the study showed that students at the beginning of their professional path, regardless of the direction of training in which they study, rather highly assess the degree of their success in life; are self-confident, plan their lives and set goals for the future. At the same time, the degree of subjective well-being of students is low; students are not completely satisfied with their life and their place in it; they are instead focused mainly on the emotional richness of their own life. The leading motives of students are professional motives that affect the effectiveness of educational activities and are associated with assessing their own success in life. It was found that ideation innovativeness is insufficiently developed among freshmen; they prefer to work within established rules, are more focused on solving a problem than on finding it, and have difficulty applying and analysing new ideas. Revealing the specifics of the subjective well-being of freshmen who entered the university in different areas of training allows outlining the prospects for psychological and pedagogic support of students at all stages of training in the framework of increasing the level of their psychological well-being in the educational environment of the university.
