Later on, as many students transitioned back to in-person learning, following COVID requirements and readjusting to the unstable learning environment was a new challenge for students\u2019 abilities to focus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29720\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29720\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29720 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/logo-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/logo-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/logo-2-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/logo-2-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/logo-2-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/logo-2-48x32.jpg 48w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/logo-2.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/hkd1xxzyQKw\">Image Credits<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestcolleges.com\/research\/college-mental-health-impacts-from-covid-19\/\"><b>Mental Health<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the challenges of surviving the global pandemic itself, learning in an unusual space has been its own challenge.
