LTStudijų pradžioje studentams reikia prisitaikyti prie naujų institucijos bei naujos mokymosi aplinkos reikalavimų. Siekiant patenkinti nuolat kintančius studentų poreikius ir palaikyti tokią mokymosi aplinką, kuri skatintų juos studijuoti, reikėjo išsiaiškinti, su kokiais sunkumais susiduria studentai adaptacijos periode. Aiškinantis šio proceso kliūtis, atliktas dviejų dalių empirinis tyrimas: kiekybinis – anketinė apklausa, kokybinis – individualus pokalbis. Gauti rezultatai patvirtina, kad studentų adaptacijos procesui trukdo nepakankama socialinė kompetencija.
