    The tasks of this research are to identify different types of loneliness among academic students, clarify what kind of meaning loneliness is given in the students life and what kind of interpretation repertoires the student is using when talking about loneliness. In the study was identified social loneliness, emotional loneliness, fenomenological loneliness, normative loneliness, existential loneliness and physical loneliness. Typestories were constructed on the basis of Gergen and Gergens (1988) categorization of development of the plot of the story in regressive, progressive and stable plots. Students used following interpretation repertoires talk about fighting, talk about being a looser, talk about isolating herself and talk about being separated. The data consists of online discussions of loneliness on Nyytis website. Recommended measures are to improve affinity/fellowship among students and to develop activity which could prevent loneliness
