Some students that lived on their own made the choice to move back to their parents during this crisis. This research deals with the question: How do Dutch students who moved back to their parental home during the Covid-19 crisis in The Netherlands, experience their parental home? The aim of this research is to investigate the experiences of Dutch students that returned to their parental home during the Covid-19 crisis in The Netherlands. Life course theory and the concepts of home, identity and sense of place are used to investigate these experiences during a crisis. A qualitative research method using semi structured in-depth interviews was used to collect the data. A deductive code tree was used to analyse the data. Results indicate that students struggle at first, but find their way the longer they are at their parental home. Since the parental home is already a familiar and secure place to students, and they can truly be themselves at their parental home, they have little problem adapting to the new reality. Taking a familiar step back to a place that they know, and is secure to students, is something they can get used to.
