Abstract	As the pandemic turned instruction entirely remote in several countries, students are presented with the issues of having to re(construct) what these different institutions (university, family) look like, their boundaries, and physical spaces. The transformation to remote education poses extra challenges not only to instructors, but also to students, especially those who are newcomers and have not been exposed to university experiences before. Therefore, in order to better understand first-year university students' experiences during the pandemic and provide the necessary aid and support for them to succeed in their academic programs, we used school-wide survey data to analyze the experiences of 240 first-year students in one public university in Chile. Using a thematic analysis, we found that these students were mostly concerned about issues derived from remote emergency modality, workload, assessment, empathy, flexibility, and community. This study has important implications not only to inform online instruction during times of restricted (or no) access to in-person classes but also to inform policy concerning university-wide and nation-wide conditions that need to be met to serve all students.
