Simple and silly social-cultural strategies to fight isolation in higher education

Indeed, scholarly literature has communicated the challenges facing higher education students with isolation. Most have indicated that interaction with relevant people in the learning community, acceptance of students' culture, and students' willingness to learn new social-relational contextual culture can solve isolation problems.

So, it is time to support students with silly, simple, and unspeakable social-relational information because such marginalized issues have become a primary cause of student attrition. It is not the hardship of solving algebra equations leading to student attrition, but mostly social-relational issues. Thus, students feel abandoned in many universities because they cannot integrate and remain in an isolated learning environment, especially doctoral students in humanity and art. These students normally deal with individual research projects that allow them to detach from each other and their learning agencies.
