The article considers the results of a comparative analysis of the main indicators of social well-being of students of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. Social well-being is a rather "liquid" characteristic of this social group in conditions of social uncertainty. Monitoring its condition allows us to identify the relative stability of some indicators and the dynamics of changes in others. The results of such a comparative analysis are significant for the formation and actualization of scientific ideas about the functioning of such an important part of the youth of the northern region as college and university students. The task of the article is to characterize the condition and changes in the social well-being of the students of the KhMAO-Yugra for the period from 2022 to 2023. The article presents the results of a sociological study "Dynamics of social well-being of young people in the conditions of the North: The Ugra cross-section in the context of Russian trends", conducted in 2022-2023 by the sociologists of Surgut State Pedagogical University as part of a government assignment. For the first time, the results of a monitoring study of the SB of students of the northern region are presented. The study showed the stability of such characteristics of Ugra youth as generalized life satisfaction and a sense of happiness. This indicates the resilience of students, that is, their ability to overcome difficulties in conditions of social, political and economic turbulence. The complication of the social context actualizes the social capital of students - family-related, friendly and neighborly ties, increases their importance as a factor of the development of students. In general, young students maintain a high level of satisfaction with the circumstances of life that depend on themselves (health, education, social relations in the immediate environment). A more contradictory dynamics can be traced by the objective (external) living conditions of the Ugra youth: the level of positive self-assessment of the economic situation of the students' family, the possibilities of cultural and social life increases, but satisfaction with the possibilities of the leisure sphere and security decreases. The positive dynamics of the institutional trust of students as an important contextual factor of its social well-being, as well as the inconsistency of social emotions as a reflection of the mosaic of social well-being are revealed.
