  ABSTRACT: This descriptive research explored the experiences of Wesleyan University Philippines College of Hospitality and Tourism Management (CHTM) students in writing their theses during the pandemic in the academic year 2020-2021. All 145 students enrolled in the thesis writing course that responded to this study were chosen as sample respondents through the complete enumeration sampling technique. The major instrument used in this investigation was a questionnaire crafted by the researchers and validated by experts in the field. According to the findings, CHTM students believe that research is very relevant in their lives as students and future professionals. They were capable of writing their theses in a reasonably competent manner, but they were anxious and stressed when performing their research. The respondents’ challenges in doing their research amidst the COVID-19 pandemic included writing the entire article, identifying appropriate respondents and getting data from them, communicating with their group mates, and consulting with their advisers. This paper has instructive implications as well as ideas for future studies along this field.
