The changes that have occurred, as a result of the new world situation, have caused various transformations in lifestyles, among which the coexistence in homes from compulsory confinement stands out. The purpose was to compare levels of communication between parents and their sons and daughters, who are university students in Lima and Piura (Perú) in times of Covid-19 pandemic. This study was descriptive and comparative in a not probabilistic convenience sample of students from a university from Lima (n=109) and other from Piura (n=107). They were administered the Barnes and Olson’s Scale of Parent-Adolescent Communication, in an adapted version for university students by Araujo et al. (2018). The results indicate that levels of communication were higher in Piura and the openness in communication with mother was higher than with father, and levels of communication problems were higher with fathers than with mothers. Conclusión; In both groups, there is also a greater level of openness towards the mother and a greater level of communication problems with the father.
