This paper aims to show the impact of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) on university students. We focus on both economic aspects, including poverty and student life. Then we conducted a web-based questionnaire survey in April, June and August 2020. The questionnaire asked about the profile of the participants and the impact of the COVID-19. This paper draws on these results to examine what kind of support is needed for university students. The results show that university students were facing economical difficulties and associated anxiety at the time of the survey in April. In contrast, as time went on in June and August, the difficulties of university life became more pronounced, with students feeling lonelier and more anxious about resuming club activities. These results suggest that it is essential not only to provide financial support but also to consider how to guarantee the student life of university students. Finally, the author and his colleagues describe a project they are working on which aims to balance financial support for university students with extracurricular activities and point out the need for similar activities to spread in the future.
