Sumario:This article presents data from an international survey and aims to describe and explore the perceptions of higher education students during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to studies, in the transition from face-to-face education to remote education and vice versa. The theoretical basis compared ideas from Virilio, Ragnedda, Rosa and others. We used a self-reported questionnaire, translated and culturally adapted in relation to university convenience samples in Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and Russia.  Classes were randomly selected and all their students were invited to fill out. Results show that pandemics magnified prior social differences as a result of deficiencies in digital capital, infrastructural deficiencies and short time for institutions and people adaptation. The lockdown and further problems led to depressing feelings and to the trend to give up their studies. In conclusion, this project has limits as a quantitative study and the sort of sample used. Replies do not evidence significant advantages to remote education, not leaving very positive experiences for its expansion. It is necessary to regard that study in pandemics had the interference of multiple crisis, economic, social, sanitary etc.
