For its ninth edition, the national study on students’ living conditions took place in an unprecedented context, related to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. While students’ responses provide information on major trends in their living conditions and on certain newly introduced themes in the survey (such as gender-based and sexual violence in higher education, racism and discrimination, the use of digital tools in access to employment, the relationship to the environment or even the use of libraries), the additional survey carried out in July 2020 also provides information on how periods of lockdown can affect living conditions and studies.
