Abstract

Education is the foundation. As the main body of higher education, the state has always been concerned with university education. In recent years, with the booming of education, the rapid increase of the scale of college students, and the development of society, the lack of material is no longer a problem for college students, but mental health problem has gradually emerged and become the main problem for them. This paper conducts an exploratory study on college students' loneliness from the perspective of design and uses the loneliness scale to conduct a questionnaire survey on college students to explore ways to alleviate loneliness. Finally, the paper proposes a design strategy to alleviate college students' loneliness.
