Abstract
This study investigated the financial, resource, and psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on undergraduate college students. 894 students completed an online survey in Spring 2021, reporting on pandemic impacts and their self-esteem and college adjustment. Latent profile analysis revealed four impact profiles: minimally impacted, resource & financially impacted, psychologically & financially impacted, and highly impacted. Student gender identity, generational status, and first-year status predicted profile membership; race did not. Highly impacted students exhibited significantly lower self-esteem and college adjustment.
