They\u2019re not allowed to study there. \u201cI come here 90 percent because of playing pool\u201d, admits one of the students. The topic of loneliness is one that seems familiar to the students, yet not everyone relates it to their studies. Some students described that they felt lonely during the start of their studies, while others said that these were not related to any specific point of their study.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Living Room hosts describes loneliness as specifically present among first-years. He believes that the Covid pandemic and moving away from your home country as an international student are key reasons why students feel lonely. Therefore, students can come to the living room to \u2018feel part of something\u2019, another host says.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"text-lg md:text-xl\">Read more<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-mocha  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white! theme-violet:bg-white! theme-sand:bg-white!\n\tflex-row gap-4 @md:gap-8 p-4 @md:p-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image:w-full image:aspect-square image:object-cover shrink-0 size-17.5 @sm:size-21.25 @md:size-30 @lg:size-40\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/26171015\/emtv-still_2024-11-26-17h09m39s801-e1732698713120.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139403\" class=\"attachment-square_lg size-square_lg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/26171015\/emtv-still_2024-11-26-17h09m39s801-e1732698713120.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139403 1081w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/26171015\/emtv-still_2024-11-26-17h09m39s801-e1732698713120-875x816.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139403 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/26171015\/emtv-still_2024-11-26-17h09m39s801-e1732698713120-300x280.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139403 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/26171015\/emtv-still_2024-11-26-17h09m39s801-e1732698713120-150x140.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139403 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/26171015\/emtv-still_2024-11-26-17h09m39s801-e1732698713120-225x210.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139403 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 md:gap-4 pr-11 @md:pr-12 @lg:pr-12\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-md @lg:text-lg\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2024\/11\/26\/bureaucracy-cold-weather-and-language-barriers-the-biggest-challenges-international-student-s-face-in-rotterdam\/\" class=\"absolute-link text-current hocus:underline inline-block\">\n\t\t\t\tBureaucracy, cold weather and language barriers.
