During the first 700 days of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, higher education institutions adopted different types of technology-supported learning to provide continuity of teaching activities. The pandemic forced students to change their study habits to face the challenges of learning in the distance modality while using technologies for learning and knowledge. In this research, a questionnaire called “Survey of Study Habits for University Students after more than 700 days of the Pandemic in Mexico” was applied to inquire about habits that were strengthened or emerged in undergraduate and graduate university students who participated in non-face-to-face learning environments during the pandemic. The study involved 3000 students from public (n = 1500) and private (n = 1500) universities located in six areas of Mexico (comprising 32 states). The findings indicated that most of the students acquired at least one digital device and expanded their internet service, and perceived an improvement in their self-study skills and greater autonomous learning development
