Abstract
Thematic analysis of qualitative responses indicated that academic workload, interpersonal relationships, social isolation, transition to remote learning and anxiety were the primary sources of stress for first semester students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educational institutions should provide targeted resources during uncertain times (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) to promote students’ overall wellbeing.
