The pandemic of the COVID-19 virus in Croatia appeared at the beginning of 2020. With the arrival of the pandemic, strict measures are being introduced to stop the spread of the virus. Students experience changes day by day that temporarily or permanently change their lives. The aim of this work is to investigate the attitudes of students on the topic "The impact of the COVID-19 virus pandemic on students in Croatia". The research examines data related to whether there are differences in the lives that students led before the pandemic and after the pandemic passed. The research will also study changes related to student life, the impact of the COVID-19 virus pandemic on overall success at college, how they dealt with false information, and how the overall stressful situation affected their mental health. The methods used in this research are the historical method and the test method. Using the historical method, all secondary data related to previous research were found and processed, and based on this information, a test method was carried out using a computer probe. 50 students were surveyed using the computer polling method, whose data were presented in graphs for easier visual observation. Most of the students who participated in the research are students in their 3rd and 2nd year of study, and the most common form of lectures is online or hybrid. A large percentage of students return to live with their parents during the pandemic, and almost half of the students believe that the COVID-19 virus pandemic had a lasting impact on their lives. Self-isolation measures had a negative impact on mental health, finances, as well as trust in the media and the government of the Republic of Croatia, while they had a positive impact on health awareness and false information on the Internet. Although there are visible consequences left by the COVID-19 virus pandemic, it is important to draw positive consequences and learn a lesson from the negative ones.
