Abstract

In this paper we will analyze the habits among university students during the confinement for Coronavirus, in relation to well-being and the use of free time. 911 students from 43 Spanish universities were interviewed between May and June of the same year. The vital feeling seems to be low. Sadness and anxiety is more evident in the case of women. Those who have spent the confinement in the big cities confess a greater feeling of loneliness. Alcohol consumption keeps in a low rate during the quarantine - less than 10% would have consumed it almost daily or daily. Neither do tobacco –82.2% do not smoke- or cannabis –92.3% would not tried it during this period. 69.7% have read a single book or none. On average, they have seen 13.4 hours of series or movies on demand, compared to 5 hours of news. From the data, a certain association could be deduced, in line with other studies, between higher alcohol consumption and higher series watching. Those who prefer “animation” contents seem to fear the virus less than those who prefer documentaries.
