We deal more with our parents, spend more money and look for new hobbies, or revive old ones if we have to stay at home – according to the METU Index published annually by the Marketing Workshop of the Budapest Metropolitan University (METU).

A survey asked more than 600 young people this year looked at the impact of the pandemic on the daily lives of university students. Young people have moved almost everything from administration to learning to entertainment to the digital space.

Students spend roughly the same amount of time with their friends as before the pandemic, but more with their parents: a clear majority of students (92 percent) spoke muchmore to their parents as they did before the pandemic, and only 8 percent less.
