University students' well-being has become an increasing concern in higher education. The COVID-19 lockdown situation has brought this vulnerable population into renewed focus. The study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on the well-being of university students. To address the nature of the research question, a survey instrument was used. The questionnaire design was adopted from the depression patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7). It consists predominantly of Likert scale questions and several open-ended questions. The instrument was administered online using Google forms. A total of 142 students participated in the study by completing the survey voluntarily. The results of this study demonstrated that students who are staying with family have a higher percentage of moderate to severe anxiety and depression, as compared to participating students who are staying on their own.
