Abstract. The article examines the life challenges faced by junior and senior students majoring in Pedagogical Education at Petrozavodsk State University throughout their study. The findings indicate differences in the students' assessment of these challenges: senior students demonstrate greater sensitivity and responsiveness to their difficulties compared to juniors. Specifically, differences were observed across such categories as financial, social, academic, and health-related difficulties.
Keywords: life challenges, personal maturity, life situation, stress, irritability
