<p>My college about an hour’s plane ride or a few hours by bus away from home, so going back every weekend would be doable. However, I’m only going to go about once a month. I can always talk to my parents on the phone and Skype with them rather than visiting every weekend. At least at my college, I know that there are tons of events and things happening every weekend, so going home too often would make me miss quite a bit. Besides, when my sister started college, the admin/upperclassmen at orientation and welcome week and stuff said not to go home too often, especially if you get homesick, because that can make the homesickness get worse.</p>
