Abstract: This study aimed to 1) examine the level of loneliness among first-year university students and 2) investigate the relationships between personal factors and loneliness. The sample consisted of 410 first-year students from a private university, selected using simple random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire comprising two parts: demographic information and the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (Thai version). Data were analyzed using statistical software. Descriptive statistics included percentage, mean, and standard deviation, while inferential statistics included t-test, one-way ANOVA, and post hoc comparisons using Tukey’s HSD method. The findings indicated that the majority of participants experienced a level of loneliness requiring attention, accounting for 51.46% (n = 211). The analysis of variance revealed that five factors were significantly associated with differences in loneliness levels at the .05 level, including daily social media use, participation in university activities, living arrangements, monthly expenses, and grade point average. These findings emphasize the importance of promoting voluntary student participation in university activities and developing supportive social environments to reduce loneliness among university students.
