The article looks at the structure of adaptive abilities of university students. Special attention is paid to the role of emotional intelligence as a component of this structure. Based on research conducted by the author using multilevel personality questionnaire “Adaptability” and the methods of studying emotional intelligence by D.V. Lyusin, it is proved that the process of students’ adaptation to the university’s learning environment is positively correlated with indicators of emotional intelligence. The more students’ emotional intelligence is developed, the higher is the overall level of their adaptive abilities.
