Answer 2

Man i wish i knew the answer to that!  Im in the EXACT situation you are.  I've been at college for more than a week and each day keeps getting worse and worse.  Im literally making my self sick from it.  Schools hard and i would give nothing than to be at home again! Im going home this weekend even though itll make it even harder to go back to college...my best advice is to try not to think about it...ive tried to keep busy for the most part and it helps a little so hopefully it will get better with time (not worse)  good luck hopefully you have better luck than i am at the moment.

Answer 3

Go meet people, hang out with friends, call home often, get a hobby, focus on your studies, laugh!

Answer 4

I don't believe you can never get over being homesick when you go away to college.  This condition will diminish when you get to your classes, meet classmates and special persons whom you like.  You will still be homesick at times but you will be too busy with your studies and your friends to think about it.  So, don't dwell on it too much because you will have fun and at the same time gain some independence.  Good luck to you.
