Introduction: The difference in the opinions of two groups of university students on the transition to adulthood and on certain educational aspects over a period of 8 years was analysed, one before and the other after the Sars-Cov 2 pandemic. Method: The questionnaire was applied based on the perception that university students have on the transition to adulthood (Guerra Santana, 2022), adapted from Arnett's Transition to Adulthood Scale (2001). It was answered by 780 students from a Spanish university, 453 of whom were educated before the pandemic and 327 of whom are currently studying. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive and comparative design was used. Results: The results indicate that, of the three factors that make up the empirical structure of the questionnaire, there are significant differences (99.95% CI) in the ability to create a family and attend to its needs, and in personal responsibility and maturity according to the student's group of belonging (pre-pandemic/post-pandemic) and age. On the other hand, no differences were found in the variables gender and field of knowledge. Discussion and Conclusion: In conclusion, the post-pandemic group of students have a more favourable perception of the transition to adulthood than those who studied before the pandemic.
