The aim of the study was to analyze the possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the perception of learning, mental health and quality of life of university students in Paraíba, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative and analytical study conducted using the STROBE recommendations. Study participants showed a high incidence of difficulty in the distance education (DE) model (71.5%), dissatisfaction with the course (68.8%), learning difficulties (82.6%) and reported not having a good learning experience (82.6%). It can also show that more than half of the students (58.3%) scored 11.22 on their anxiety levels, which results in a warning sign for anxiety symptoms. This research could show that the academic aspects of university students in Paraíba suffered significant negative impacts, these findings may be associated with the decline of biopsychosocial aspects associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
