Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the situation of Polish students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study, based on the voluntary participation of students, and having a clearly pilot nature was carried out using the self-made questionnaire consisting of 28 questions, each of them regarding the implementation of the objectives outlined in the study. The study involved 160 full-time and part-time students of state universities embedded in two voivodships with the highest COVID-19 infection rate, i.e. in the Upper Silesia and Mazovia voivodships. Our studies have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic time significantly impedes students' education and psychophysical functioning. Over 98% of students study remotely at universities. The dominant forms of such education were: e-mailing students with ready-to-study materials and tasks for self-implementation, remote learning platforms such as e-university, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, meet, Classroom, Moodle, Click-Meeting, as well as other distant e-learning platforms. For security reasons, libraries operating at the universities were also closed, which significantly hindered students from completing the process of remote education, as none of the universities provided a substitute form of using library collections.
