The aim of the research is to show the incidence of depression among students who moved to other cities for their studies and to determine the incidence of depression among students in general. Work methods: The survey was conducted online until 2020 and included respondents from Northwestern Croatia. Sociodemographic data were collected, as well as data on the presence of certain moods during relocation. All questionnaires were completed online through Google applications. Results: 88 students from the Republic of Croatia participated in the research. 79 participants (89.8%) were female. The majority of participants (73.9%) were chronologically aged from 18 to 24 years, the largest share of participants (42%) was currently in their third year of study, and the most represented participants are attending university in Varaždin County (38.6%) . The results of the research indicate that most of the participants experience a feeling of excitement when moving (36%), followed by a feeling of nervousness (27%) and fear (18%). The largest share of participants (62.5%) started missing their family and friends already during the first week of their stay in the place of study. On average, the participants contact their parents every second day. Most of the participants of this research (72.7%) consider themselves adapted to the place of study. The majority of research participants (67%) perceive Sunday as a day marked by the appearance of unpleasant emotions and emptiness. Conclusion: Moving is a change that significantly affects a person's life and triggers certain feelings in everyone, as demonstrated by the conducted research. Most students adapted after the transition. Students who communicate more often with their parents have a stronger sense of longing for home, which is at its peak at the end of the week, which can be attributed to the lack of family customs, boredom, returning to studies, and the distance of the new return home. Faculties can implement support systems for students to ease their transition.
