Abstract: Interpersonal relationships are central to young adult development and success in college. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, universities largely went to remote instruction. In the fall of 2020, universities varied in their approaches and some reopened with online, in-person, hybrid, or mixed instructional methods. The current qualitative study explored young adults' (n = 243) experiences in their relationships while attending college during a pandemic in fall of 2020. Three themes were identified through phenomenological qualitative analysis: (1) strained student-institutional relationship, (2) isolation, and (3) sustained or improved relationships. Results are discussed in terms of considerations for preparing for potential future public health crises and supporting those young adults who are continuing in college during the later stages of the pandemic and post-pandemic.
