The COVID-19 pandemic has forced national governments to take several measures to address the need for population isolation to prevent the spread of the virus. In this context, the use of virtual tools has been required by educational entities to maintain classes, which has challenged teachers and students. For the university students, during the quarantine of 2020, symptoms of stress were evidenced, affecting their performance in classes. This project evaluated some stress markers and how they affect students. For this, a cross-sectional study was performed, taking an aleatory sample of 39 individuals through a virtual survey. 100% of the students knew the meaning of stress, and 95% felt some associated symptoms. Additionally, associations were evaluated with the Chi-square test. Statistically significant results were found when assessing happiness and feelings about virtual classes despite the lack of adaptation to virtual platforms. Also, the probability of presenting stress-associated symptomatology decreases when students are comfortable and happy, from 0.75 to 0.58. Finally, task overload, difficulty handling platforms, and being left with doubts were determined as the variables with the highest percentages among our sample; more than 75% suffer from stress.
