But you are capable of surviving these feelings, if you allow yourself to calm down and get oriented. Ask yourself how you can begin to experience these things here. Limit the amount of time you consciously think of home. Focus on what you can do now you are here. Try to make new friends by talking with those on your floor or in class.
Plan trips home and contacts with family by phone or letter.
A continuing connection with home exists even when you are here physically. Go for help if you continue to feel distress. UCPS has trained counselors to help you.
