How have students been affected by these 3 semesters of online lectures and seminars? This paper sets out to answer this research question on the basis of 2 sociological surveys, applied online in May 2020 (N=518) and in May 2021 (N=206). Its main finding is that there are 2 different patterns students employ in order to cope with the unprecedented limitations imposed by the {Covid 19] pandemic restrictions: the badger approach, in which they take refuge in leisure activities, and the beaver approach, involving more dynamic and sustainable behaviours.
