Abstract: Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to mitigate the repercussions of the disease, and lockdown measures were implemented, including the transition to emergency remote education. Objective: Given this dramatic change, it was found pertinent to analyze higher education students' perceptions about emergency remote education through a study conducted at the end of the school year 2020/2021. Methods: Exploratory qualitative study, using content analysis as a technique for analyzing responses to an open-ended question, asking students to describe their learning experiences during quarantine. A final convenience sample of 438 individuals was questioned, representing 10% of the total population of the higher education institution under study. Results: The students' experience was mostly described negatively in terms of well-being and academic outcomes, highlighting a lack of motivation, boredom, and stress, as well as learning difficulties, increased workload, and increased pressure. To a lesser extent, they recognized innovation and the convenience of daily routines. Conclusion: These data allow us to reflect on future remote education practices and the importance of maintaining students' mental health and general well-being during disruptive periods. The limitations of the study arising from this methodological approach must be carefully pointed out, and some level of subjectivity is inevitable.
