%X This study focuses on assessing the degree of loneliness among students at the Faculty of Science and Arts in Rafha, Northern Border University, KSA, during the COVID-19 pandemic and examines the impact of gender and marital status on this experience. The researcher used a descriptive approach, creating a preliminary data form and using the UCLA Loneliness Scale to collect data. With a total student population of 1160, the sample consisted of 365 individuals. The data was collected online during the first semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The findings indicated that, overall, the level of loneliness among students was relatively low during the pandemic. Notably, significant gender differences were observed, with female students (mean = 191.59) reporting higher levels of loneliness than their male counterparts (mean = 153.82). However, marital status did not appear to have a significant impact on the level of loneliness.
