Abstract
The present study was exploratory in nature. The main goal was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education and mental health of students. A questionnaire was used to test whether college students felt their mental health needs were being met, whether they thought schools were safe, and whether their attitudes about online learning changed during the pandemic. Students indicated that they had mental health concerns that were not adequately addressed. They also express concerns about school safety and online learning. The data suggest that more needs to be done to address students’ mental health, to make students feel comfortable about school safety, and to assess the effectiveness of remote learning. Strong in-person counseling programs can be used to identify and meet student mental health needs. It is also recommended that student opinions about topics such as school safety and online learning be collected regularly so that student input informs decisions.
