Going away to college is a big life transition, and it can also be hard to leave home. However, it’s important to remember that you haven’t left for good. You can always go home for a visit or to stay if you really want to. But while you’re away at college, you have a whole new world of people and fun opening up to you! Enjoy this exciting time of growth and adventure by getting involved in campus activities and meeting new people. When homesickness hits you hard, allow yourself to feel it and seek help if you are struggling. As you continue your college journey, maintain your connections to home with regular phone calls, visits, and decorative touches.
