Student experience in the first year of study is crucial for the en-tire educational trajectory at university. Previous studies show that academic and social integration into the university environment takes place in the first year. By turn, social and academic integration during the first year largely determine student success for the subsequent years of study. Based on the data from the national online student survey, this article analyses the difficulties faced by first-year students at Russian universi-ties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset includes more than nine thou-sand cases from universities represent-ing all federal districts of the Russian Federation. The analysis shows that the key difficulties first-year students meet during the pandemic include: socializa-tion difficulties (lack of communication with teachers and other students), diffi-culties with self-organization (it is difficult to keep attention online for a long time, concentrate on self-study of the mate-rial), as well as technical issues (prob-lems with communication, poor techni-cal conditions for remote participation in classes). Using latent class analysis, we divided survey participants into eight groups by their difficulties. Then we use membership in these groups to predict self-reported learning effectiveness. The analysis results suggest that difficulties with socialization and self-organization for learning are stronger predictors of low self-reported learning effectiveness than technical issues. This indicates the importance of the systematic work of universities to provide opportunities for communication between students and instructors, as well as the develop-ment of self-organization skills for first-year students in distance and blended learning
