Abstract
Purpose: This paper examines the ongoing challenges college students experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, studying SUNY Oneonta college students' situations. Methods: This study interviewed a sample of seven students individually to collect qualitative data about their personal experiences regarding college life in a pandemic. Participants were picked using three non-probability sampling strategies: availability, quota, and snowballing. Findings: Students found it difficult to adjust to all online college classes; they received a heavier workload, did not retain information, and were less successful in classes. College students had increased stress levels regarding online classes and the ongoing pandemic. Lastly, students struggled with higher levels of anxiety and depression directly influenced by the pandemic. Stress caused by Covid-19 led students to develop coping mechanisms. Implications: Online learning is not the best practice for all Oneonta students. The college should take this opportunity to improve emergency learning and adjust the structure of online learning to help struggling students, which could ease their mental health and help to create healthy coping mechanisms.
