Novel Priyatna

Abstract


The life of college students is full of dynamics because they have many opportunities to develop their social life. However, one of the problems they often experience is loneliness. Unfortunately, many attempts to overcome this problem do not address the real root of the problem, which is sin. The purpose of this paper is to explore the problem of loneliness among university students. Spiritual formation is a way in which students can respond appropriately to the problem of loneliness.
