Because of COVID-19, people are required to refrain from leaving their homes unnecessarily. In this study, the relationship between the stress levels of Japanese university students and their home-based learning environment was investigated through a questionnaire survey. The results show that stress levels decreased as the number of days passed for those who lived with their families. Moreover, days with lower stress levels were those when the students had opportunities to meet others in an online setup, suggesting that having opportunities to communicate with others and making plans to do so may contribute to stress reduction.
