The study was conducted on the basis of the RSSAI with students of all faculties (theater, music, fine arts). Methodology: the author's questionnaire on the study of various aspects of the attitude to education (professional plans, socio-psychological well-being, motivation of training, attitude to the content of education, socio-psychological relations within the university with teachers and other students, value orientations in the field of art culture, etc.). It is shown that when there are conflicts with teachers, students with preserved health do not transfer them to the attitude to the academic subject, while students with disabilities conflict with the teacher provokes a negative attitude to the course. It was revealed that among students with disabilities, almost one in ten believes that problems in understanding the educational material are due to the peculiarities of their health, with age the share of such responses increases.
