The data in the article is based on the research “Students’ accommodation with the university environment carried by Teachers Training Department from National University of Arts, Bucharest (Farca (ed.), 2018-2021). The methods used in the research are the analysis of documents, the analysis of data which come from students. This research highlights the accommodation difficulties that some of the students face when entering the academic environment, it showed their causes and effects as well as the educational changes which are necessary at university level. So far, it has been observed that there is a direct connection between students’ accommodation to the academic environment and the decline of the educational achievement and later, the decline of the professional achievement. The article selects the main accommodation issues expressed by students and the suggestions for academic improvement which have been conceived for them. The data of our research shows that a change in education is needed, that it cannot be left in the students’ responsibility and that their failures are in fact ours, the professors’.
