The effects on mental health have been a topic of interest present in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the perceived quality of life and other associated variables in university students when faced with the return to face-to-face classes. The quality of life index (ICV) was defined through the MQLI-Sp instrument, it was analyzed together with other context and health variables in a cross-sectional study, descriptive and relational in scope, with a sample of 532 students. Among the results, significant associations stand out between the ICV with the variables: gender, change of home due to the return to face-to-face attendance, the fact of living with people at high health risk due to Covid-19 and the perception of the vaccine as a measure effective. In addition, it was established that those who were vaccinated, remained in their place of residence, did not live with high-risk people, did not have someone close to them with a Covid diagnosis, did not consume tobacco, practiced sports, were not obese and did not present anxiety, stress and/or depression reported a significantly higher ICV. In conclusion, doing physical activity and not presenting symptoms of depression can be considered as variables that favored the quality of life before returning to face-to-face classes.
