College can be exciting—but it can also feel lonely, especially when everything around you is new.
You don’t have to wait until you’re having a hard time to think about what you’ll do when loneliness hits. Knowing who you can reach out to, where you can find community, and what helps you feel grounded can make a big difference.
Talk about it:
- Who can you call when you need someone?
- Where can you find genuine community on campus?
- What helps you feel connected when you’re far from home?
You might not be able to avoid loneliness. But you don’t have to face it alone.
