Abstract
This study delved into the experiences of students thriving solo as they live away from the comfort of their homes. The researchers explored the challenges that shaped students’ academic, social, and personal development without any support from their close peers. Many of the students are affected as they transition to living independently. Thus, the researchers of La Consolacion College in Bais City intended that the experiences of students who are living alone be heard and validated. This study used phenomenology as the research design. After the validation of the research instrument, the respondents were reached out to personally. A total of nine students were interviewed. The findings revealed that students experience ups and downs in living alone. These experiences were reported to have impacted their well-being. Meanwhile, struggling students also reported the use of coping strategies to feel well. As an output of the study, the researchers recommended the creation of a “socioemotional well-being and learning club” as part of the school’s guidance and counseling program.
