      abstract = {Research suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the mental health of college students on a large scale and in a sustained manner. This study focuses on the mental health aspects that evolved in certain more negative directions after the pandemic, such as anxiety, depression, stress from academic learning, and sociophobia (Husain, et al, 2021). Data collection methods that have been employed are questionnaires and interviews among college students to determine the prevalence of mental health issues. In new studies, it is discovered that student?s anxiety and concerns related to their academic and life?s trajectory have not decreased even if institutions and learners have returned to the new typicality. It reveals the areas of disruption of routines, changes in finances, and the transitions between online and face-to-face contexts that have occurred. Even though some learners have learned to adapt and be strong, some still feel lonely and have learned to burn out in their academics (Zheng, et al, 2021). Symptoms of mental health problems are identified as the last critical area of students? experience, as universities are deemed to learn that they need to address interventions for the post-pandemic effect. It is for the same reason that further mental health services, lenient academic measures, and sustainable programs that foster community entirety should be encouraged post COVID-19 pandemic.},
