Given that a person often plays several different roles at the same time, the roles can be mutually inconsistent, contradictory, or mutually exclusive. In certain situations, there comes to a conflict of roles. An individual cannot realistically act in accordance with the expectations arising from different roles. He is forced to choose one of several alternatives: he can leave one role and take on another, he can try to reach some compromise between the roles, or he can withdraw physically and/or mentally from the roles altogether. In any case, over any long-term period, if he cannot fully fulfill the expectations of all roles, he is considered ineffective in managing one of the roles defined by the groups (Getzels J.W. & Guba E.G, 1954) Student mothers often find themselves in a strong role conflict and encounter obstacles in fulfilling the expectations associated with the role of mother or student. The task of this thesis is to examine the experiences of student mothers and to establish the most common problems they face. In qualitative research that was conducted, as a research method it was used a semi-structured interview. A total of 17 respondents with the experience of simultaneous motherhood and studies participated in the individual interviews. The research findings provide a detailed insight into the experiences of student mothers. The results show that the experiences of student mothers are mostly positive, but the respondents also pointed out the numerous challenges they face. The most common problems faced by student mothers are the lack of time to continuously attend college and to perform student duties, i.e. difficulties with organizing time, legal provisions regarding the enrollment of children (whose parent/s are part-time students) in kindergarten, unpredictable situations (e.g. illness of a child, etc.) due to which they have to justify absences at the university more often than other students and insufficient support from their husbands or other family members. The paper discusses ways in which educational institutions can contribute to a better position of student mothers.
