The Role of Housing Conditions in Shaping Students’ Psychological Comfort and Academic Motivation (Results of a Pilot Study Based on the Students of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation)

This article examines the impact of housing conditions on students’ psychological comfort and academic motivation. The authors present aerobatic results from a sociological study, including in-depth interviews with ten students living in dormitories of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. It was found that comfortable living conditions and a positive social-psychological atmosphere contribute to increased motivation to study and improved academic performance. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing low comfort levels in dormitories, including both renovation of the material base and creation of a supportive psychological environment. Practical recommendations were developed for universities to enhance comfort and safety in student dormitories, thereby strengthening motivation and academic success among students.
