Hamman,

Back in the last century when I was in college halfway across the country from my immediate family, I went home at the semester/winter break and in the summer. Other holidays were spent with college friends who lived closer to campus, or with various cousins/aunts/etc. who lived close to my college. Once you are settled in and make friends at your college, you will find out that plenty of them have moms/dads/aunts/uncles/siblings/grandparents/etc. who are perfectly happy to feed and house you for a couple of days as long as you are polite and well-behaved.
