Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly affected almost every aspect of daily life. Nevertheless, the
activities dealing with social gatherings and travel were affected the most. In this paper, the effect of
the pandemic on university students, especially the international students will be investigated from
technical, economical, and psychological aspects. Some institutions have chosen to switch their courses
from campus to online due to the pandemic. Undoubtedly, distance education is quite beneficial and
necessary for the well-being of the entire society. If it was not for online education, education would
have come to a complete halt. Notwithstanding, there are also some side effects and setbacks of this
proposed solution for the sake of continuity of formal education behind the curfew and social gathering
restrictions. In a distance learning mode, the learning experience is quite different from being in the
lecture room physically. It is essential to analyze such drawbacks, institutional and student preparedness
in the face of compulsory distance learning, in order to understand the issues brought about by the
pandemic and improve the overall quality and conduct of this type of teaching/learning activity. This
study will investigate the possible drawbacks of distance education for the students who either study at
the university or are prospective of doing so
