The present study was conducted to examine the impact of education and gender on loneliness and depression among students. The sample comprised of 387 students from both school and college. Findings indicated that male students were observed to be more lonely than female students. However, school students were found to be more lonely and depressed as compared to the college students. A significant interactive effect was observed for loneliness and depression when both education and gender were taken altogether. The implications of the study are discussed in this paper.
