Abstract

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the lives of people around the world. College students are especially vulnerable to the pandemic, given the requisite gathering of students during instruction and the often-crowded living conditions in college dormitories. Adapting quickly to the new normal during the global pandemic change was critical to chart a viable path towards a sustainable future. The current study is focusing on obtaining systematic meaningful insights on the satisfaction of minority students in higher learning institutions as well as gain perspective on different aspects of their lives during the pandemic, including personal, financial, health-related, and educational. The inability of higher learning institutions to understand and quickly address the ongoing difficulties in the lives of students may resulted in students taking time off before enrollment, the postponement of a semester or two by already enrolled students, or the abandonment of college education altogether as a realistic life goal. The data will be collected by conducting a survey completed by minority students and then analyzed using data mining techniques to pinpoint the factors that might hindered minority students from continuing on their education during the virtual learning in effect. This study aims to analyze and identify students' transition difficulties, personal psychological resilience, including stress and anxiety due to health and technology, and pedagogical/learning issues.
