Anyone know a good way to combat homesickness?

[Anzyy]

I go university far from my house so I stay in the accommodation there. I come back on holidays and in between sometimes.

But every single time I come back home, when the holiday is about to finish, I feel devastated. Like homesick before leaving home. It really kills because I can't enjoy certain things like food etc.

As Dorothy says in Wizard of Oz, "There's no place like home."

You might get over this with time, but you might not. If you don't get over it, you can look forward to moving back home after uni. If your major and expected career aren't compatible with your home town, you might consider a different major.

The only real thing to combat home sickness to to find enjoyable things to do where you are, and find friends to spend time with. Studies alone probably won't be enough.

I lived a lot of places in my life. I never really got homesick. It was always an adventure and experience that I enjoyed. On the other hand, it always felt like something was missing. After a number of years I made the decision to move back to my hometown. It was one of the best decisions of my life. What was missing before was the feeling of "home". I liked a lot of the places I lived. In some cases I liked them a lot. But they were not home. They never felt like I belonged there. It always felt temporary.

Now I'm where I belong. I'm home and I'm going to stay here.

Uni is a temporary part of your life. Try to enjoy it the best you can. Then make choices for your future.

I was homesick for college, after I graduated from grad school. I felt like I missed college so much. So for me, it was the opposite... LOL... I missed the friends and the camaraderie.
