It can be hard for new college students, or those returning after summer break, to be away from home.
Homesickness is a normal reaction. About 30% of all students and 70% of first-year students experience it. Though it can happen at any time, it's most common in the first few months away.
"Homesickness tends to decrease after the first semester, but how fast a person overcomes it varies," Marcello said in a Rutgers news release. A student might be consumed with thoughts of home or returning home, feel pessimistic about their new environment or have difficulty concentrating.Some people may be more prone to these feelings, including those with other stressors or a lack of social support.
Marcello suggests that homesick students acknowledge their feelings and don't stress out about controlling them.
