Adjusting to university life

Homesickness  
For many students this will be the first time you have experienced living away from home for a sustained period and you may find yourself missing family and friends a lot . This is simply becouse you are naturally attached to familiar people and places . The problem can be complicated further for international students by the culture shock of living in a new country.
Home sickness often goes away naturally in the first weeks of term as you invest your attention and energy in the new challenges of your course and social life . The university environment can become familiar pretty quickly , wich tends to give a sense of calm and control .

Your home sickness may continue if you are struggling to find your niche , or if there are problems at home that you are worrying about . If  you still feel homesick after a few weeks, don't lose confidence that you can adjust to living independently from home . You may have difficult points , but this is part of the huge transition process that you are in .
