What are some ways to decrease my son or daughters homesickness?
Although many students may not admit it, homesickness is a normal experience for new college students. It is not unusual for students to struggle with feelings of depression or loneliness as a result of homesickness throughout the first year of college. Continue to write to your son or daughter even if he or she does not write back. Residence Life staff are available to offer support, a listening ear and suggestions to assist residents.
