Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes ways of defining the "good life" among refugee and migrant students from Ukraine in Poland after 2022. The "good life" is treated as an indicator of life orientation, revealing systems of values, needs, and adaptive strategies in the context of forced migration. The analysis is grounded in existing research on young migrants from Ukraine, which highlights the significance of biographical uncertainty, temporariness, and processes of social and educational integration. The findings show that definitions of the "good life" are positioned between an orientation toward security and stability and a pursuit of self-realization. The experience of migration shifts the emphasis from pleasure and comfort toward issues of safety, education, and a predictable future, while also revealing variation in individual narratives.
