Abstract
Evidence suggests that loneliness among students is becoming a public health
concern. Meanwhile, friends support is salient during times of intense social changes and
transition to adulthood, protecting individuals against loneliness. Friends support as a source of
social support and age differences among university students, are putted through a magnifying
glass to analyse the effect it has on loneliness.
