Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic hit many countries in 2020, including Brazil, which adopted several measures to combat the virus, thus interfering in the life of society, especially with the demand for social isolation. To maintain teaching activities, the Federal University of Santa Maria initiated the Special Home Exercises Regime, for face-to-face courses. This study investigated social isolation, the adoption of remote education and the change in satisfaction with the lives of these students. For that, an online survey was adopted, whose answers were analyzed with descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that the majority of students are practicing isolation and leaving home only to purchase essential products. In this process of "staying at home" students perceive a drop in productivity, changes in mood and feelings of anguish and anxiety. Satisfaction with life today is lower when compared to the period before the pandemic. However, most of them positively evaluate the efforts to maintain remote teaching activities, both in terms of the dynamics that are being developed and in terms of adherence to activities.    Keywords: COVID-19. Remote teaching. Social isolation. Satisfaction with Life.
