Hello! I was wondering if you get really homesick at school? I'm a senior and considering going from the west coast to the midwest and was wondering how badly I'll miss home!
Hi! It really depends on you and your personality. I knew all throughout high school that I wanted to leave California for college, so I was prepared for the big change. Since I haven’t been home since August I am now a bit homesick but I am going home in a few days, so I am going to be okay. If you stay in good contact with your family, you should be fine. Also what helps is being involved at school, you have less time to be homesick because you are busy. It is vital to spend time with friends and going off campus so you don’t feel so caught up in your school’s bubble. I have had an awesome experience at Boston College so far, I love it! I have a couple of friends going to school in the midwest and they love it so far. They have also managed to not be homesick, so I think that you will be just fine! Good Luck!! :)
