Moving away from your hometown to university is a big transition. You may suffer from homesickness and it is totally fine to be like this. To give you some help, here are some great tips to get through it.
There is no shame to ask. You may think that it is a dumb question and it will make you look stupid but this is only your perception.
Whatever things bring you comfort, bring them along with you. Or decorate your room which will make you feel comfortable.
Don’t ever let someone say you can’t do it. There’s no excuse, just believe in yourself and go ahead.
When we are unfamiliar with our surroundings, we will feel homesick. So, it is be a great idea to explore your city so you will feel more at home. As a student here, you will get free entry to some of the museums and colleges.
