ABSTRACT

This qualitative study employs photovoice, a participatory action research method, to explore the lived experiences of college students who had been staying away from home for higher studies who but were now living with their families owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown. By analyzing photographs and narratives, we delve into the emotional, familial, academic, and social adjustments triggered by this transition.

The findings shed light on how students navigated challenges and found positives amidst the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruptions.
