With the development of urbanization and the acceleration of the pace of
life, people's exchanges tend to be superficial, which leads to alienation and dilution
of emotions among individuals. Solitude has become a common problem in modern
society. Loneliness is associated with many negative emotions. Studies show that
solitude leads to negative experiences such as depression, helplessness, depression,
irritability, inferiority, despair, and so on. Therefore, loneliness can have a great
impact on human health. According to statistics, the number of people who are
healthy and lonely is 10 times less dead than those who are fit and healthy. At this
stage of the university, students are just getting out of their family care and then they
are going to enter society. They are easily affected during this period, both positive
and negative. As a leader among their peers, they bear the hope of the country and the
nation.
However, studies have shown that the phenomenon of loneliness among
college students not only exists but also is very serious, which is extremely
unfavorable to their success. Therefore, it is not only the responsibility of universities
but also the responsibility of every family and every society of every college student
to focus on the sense of loneliness of undergraduates and guide them correctly so as to
help them view loneliness correctly and turn them into motive force.

University life offers a culture shock to many students as they try to readjust to a
life whereby they must learn to survive on their own without the support of their
families. Most University students stay in the school compound or in the vicinity o0f
the school. In such an environment, people have to make critical changes to their
lifestyles owing to the fact that they are in a new environment to which they are not
adapted to (Sillitoe 63). One of the most critical moves a student has to make is to
make new friends. Making new friends is often a daunting task for many people.
Additionally, social media on the Internet offers a shortcut to wards interaction.
However, social media friendships are not always the best things to go by. This is
because, they do not enable people to interact on a very deep level which they can call
themselves best of friends.
In addition, the world today is moving at a very fast pace which forces people to
do so many things to be able to survive. For instance, you may find a student doing so
many courses so that they are relevant in the Job market. This hyperactivity gives
students very little time to interact. In light of that, most students end up being very
lonely beings. Loneliness is a very serious problems in our learning institutions. As
such, stakeholders such as education institutions ought to make appropriate measures
to try and solve this peril. Efforts geared towards reducing loneliness among college
students will help reduce the many conditions that are brought about by loneliness. At
the heart of these conditions lies depression (Huffpost). Research shows that more
than 90 percent of the world’s population has been depressed at a point in their lives.
It is imperative that institutions move with speed to curtail loneliness among students.
The internet enables people to communicate across geographies, but breaks
down a stable social structure. Its virtuality is even more lonely after experiencing the
novelty and joy brought by the internet. For Instance, Although college students can
