Loneliness can often be a common problem amongst college students, especially for students who are leaving home for the first time. Frequently, students do not report their feelings of loneliness to mental health professionals due to the stigma around the feeling of loneliness itself. Students staying silent on their feelings of loneliness can add more mental health factors, including anxiety, depression, and others. However, administrators, faculty, staff, and even fellow students can play a role in addressing loneliness on their college campuses.
