Combat homesickness
The student helpline, Nightline, found that around a third of students experience homesickness at some time (2013).36 It can be tiring, disorientating and unsettling to adapt to new places and people, especially when you miss home, friends and all that is familiar to you. It is important to allow yourself time to build new social networks and to let your new surroundings feel like a second home.
