... when home seems a long way away
Research in the US shows that almost 70% of students living away from home for the first time experience homesickness. For some, it only lasts a few days, but 18% reported that it lasted more than 8 weeks, so for some, it can be a significant problem. This site is aimed at helping homesick students to survive the experience, recover as quickly as possible and go on to enjoy their tertiary studies. The information is available in a variety of formats which will be of more or less use to you, depending on whether you're someone who's feeling homesick or a student support worker looking for resources.
Whichever you are, I hope that these resources make things easier for you.
