Summary/Abstract: The Sars-Cov-2 pandemic has generated many problems in diverse social areas, including education. The aim of the present study is to find out the specific ways in which the pandemic has an effect regarding anxiety and sadness amongst Romanian students. In order to achieve this goal, we made an online questionnaire which was completed by 1,062 students from all geographical areas of Romania. This study reveals that students were exposed to additional stress with the onset of the pandemic, the states of anxiety and sadness amplifying. These states were influenced by mass media, to which was added the impossibility of socialization, the uncertainties regarding the professional career, but also the lack of confidence in crisis management authorities.
