The article follows up on the cycle of the authors' research into the personal and professional formation of theatre students. Discussed here are such things as specific personal features which separate theatre college students from regular high school students (the control group), as well as the dynamics of personal characteristics during their studies. It demonstrates that the major differences between theatre college students and regular high schoolers lie within their emotional features and readiness to socialize. The analysis of personal characteristics has shown that the main transformation takes place in the 1st and 2nd years of college, and is concerned with increased anxiety and motivational tension.
