Summary/Abstract: Aim: The article presents the results of the author’s own research aimed at finding out the students’ opinions on single living. Methods: In the research, a diagnostic survey method with a questionnaire has been applied. The sample group of young adults referred to such issues as: perception of women and men choosing to be single, reasons for choosing this form of living, positive and negative aspects of living alone. Results: One of the dimensions of modern family transformation is an increase in the attractiveness of alternative forms of family life, including being alone as a single person, without a life partner. Until recently, living without a spouse was treated asa life failure, currently it is more often viewed as deliberate choice of this form of life, associated with independence, freedom, living one’s own life. Conclusions: Social perception of people being single is changing, which is also reflected in the results of the author’s own research.
