This feeling is familiar to many students. When you find yourself in a completely new place, away from your family and everything you’re used to, it’s baffling. And not everyone is ready to be open to new experiences. It’s how homesickness comes about. I went through it myself, first at university for the first semester and then six months in another country. It was very difficult. And I guess it won’t be easy to say goodbye to the university when I graduate. Is there such a thing as longing for university?
This is great! I think supporting each other is the best way to overcome homesickness. I would also like to add to your article an Infographic about homesickness, which illustrates symptoms and causes: https://newsgoldmine.com/how-to-survive-when-you-study-away-from-home/ I think it’ s a good one. It has helped me a lot with my problems, and I think it will help many other students who are not yet ready to leave their comfort zone.
