ABSTRACT=The paper explores the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the Saudi higher education system. The research focuses on the relationship between digital learning in Covid-19 time, life satisfaction, and stress among female students. The study discusses measures, practices, defence mechanisms, and coping strategies to face challenges. Using an online survey based on psychological effects and its role in defence mechanisms and coping strategies, findings show that digital learning provides flexibility in terms of time and offers resources at a lower cost compared to traditional learning. In addition, results show that the coping strategy perception is higher in obtaining a good score and succeeding than to get over the pandemic and recovering from the illness itself. Finally, results confirm that a positive attitude influences positively life satisfaction.
