Abstract: This paper aims to look at the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the life of Criminology students. A descriptive-correlational study utilized a researcher-modified survey questionnaire conducted on 342 Criminology students using a two-stage stratified random sampling technique. Frequency, percentage distribution, weighted mean, highest frequency, ranking, and Spearman’s rho Correlation were the statistical treatments used to quantify the data. The study also explored student experiences with off-site learning and the pandemic’s impact on their social life, emotions, and overall circumstances. Finally, we examined the relationship between student satisfaction and their perception of the pandemic’s consequences. The findings reveal overall satisfaction with academic life, though library access and financial services received lower ratings. Interestingly, despite concerns about finances, future careers, and education due to the pandemic, students generally maintained a positive outlook and connected with loved ones online. However, a significant correlation emerged between student satisfaction and their perception of the pandemic’s impact. Based on these findings, we recommend improvements to support student well-being: explore online platforms and Learning Management Systems (LMS) to facilitate access to library materials, establish online platforms for accessing financial aid and accounting services, implement a counseling hotline, and increase mental health awareness seminars.
