The aim is to study the life activity and well-being of students various universities in a digital environment with a mixed form of education. Materials and methods. During March 2021, an anonymous online survey was conducted of 126 students of Sechenov University (SU), 282 students of Omsk State Medical University and 410 students of Voronezh State Pedagogical University. Most of the students at universities were girls. The questions were closed-ended with formalized answers and were aimed at identifying the peculiarities of students' life and complaints about their health. Results. A comparison of the answers concerning the students' life activity did not reveal significant differences in the prevalence of the studied factors in the three universities. 46.03-54.61% of students sleep less than the required norm on weekdays; 52.48-58.73% of students use gadgets 6-7 hours a day or longer. The experience of distance learning has shown that 62.70-74.39% of students consider video lectures a convenient form of learning. The higher prevalence of complaints among SU students, compared with the other two universities, suggested a higher incidence of neurotic reactions of asthenic type, headache syndrome, obsessive-phobic syndrome, gastrointestinal dysfunction in SU students. Limitations. This study did not aim to analyze all the features of the life of modern students in the digital environment, only indicators that could be associated with the transition to a blended form of education in medical and pedagogical universities were considered.The conducted anonymous online survey of 818 students of various universities studying in a mixed form represents a sufficient reference sample to achieve the goal of the study. Conclusions. Digitalization of higher education should be aimed at improving the management of the educational process, reducing transfers in medical universities, switching to video lectures and well-systematized and easy-to-use educational content while maintaining practical classes. Education of high school and university students in mental health is necessary, especially in the digital environment.
