The aim of this study was to investigate the lived experience of Guilan University students from virtual education during the Covid-19 epidemic. The method of the present study was qualitative descriptive phenomenology. Participants were 21 students who were selected through a purposeful sampling method and semi-structured interviews with them continued to the point of theoretical saturation. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The sub-themes obtained revolve around the two main themes of learners' mood (low productivity, lack of motivation, time constraints, experience, learning opportunities, comfort-seeking, psychological security, and stress) and learning context (low teaching quality, lack of variety of educational tools and Lack of face-to-face interaction with students and access). According to the main and sub-themes discovered in the research, it is suggested that the educational administrators of universities put these items on the agenda and provide methods to improve the learning and education of learners by designing methods to eliminate the shortcomings of this method.
