Method: the application of a survey through a Google form and the Moodle platform, to 337 higher education students between 18 to 35 years old, males and females. Preliminary results: Since the implementation of remote education is still in force, it is pertinent to make a brief assessment of the most frequent perceived emotions. There are also references to some expectations and to the opinion regarding whether it is convenient to continue with this learning modality. Preliminary conclusions: Such a novel situation that goes on over time, in a context of uncertainty and constant postponements, necessarily impacts on the psychological well-being and the
evaluation of one's own freedoms. Stress, worry and anxiety are some of the emerging perceptions in individuals who are still not very clear that distance learning is totally valid for them.
