I understand the situation.
I live far from my family (my parents and siblings) and use to visit them once a year.
I miss all the things that we (me and my siblings) enjoy to do- but this is life.
No matter how we want to stay and be with our loved ones all the time- there are things that are beyond our control.
Just stay strong and pray that you and your loved ones will be blessed with a long life so there comes a time that you will stay with them forever- someday soon.

thanks jaiho,yes, when we grow up,we will encounter many things that we can do nothing about that,maybe. also it's so-called life. now i realize that when i have no good methods to go though something, then i can change my attitude...

It is human to miss our homes and family when we are far away. It is unavoidable at certain times in our lives where we have to be separated from our families for certain reasons like work and studies.
I believe that you will need to convince yourself that you need to study and that your family has expectations for you here. As such, you will need to make an effort to put your personal feelings aside, concentrate on what you have to do and do your best.
Isn't this what life is all about?
Learning to be independent, discipline, self control, persistence, strive for excellence and cherish. Studying is not just simply going to school, doing homework and learning knowledge but has other disciplines which you will need when you graduate and come out to work.

It is but natural when you are staying away from your family for long time (You have mentioned 5 years). And you are alone and away from family I am sure you must bethinking about the time you had spend and enjoyed with your family. You know the world has gone so far that we can contact any one from any part of the world by way of phone, mobile or internet. Why not you call your mummy when you feel like meeting her or you think about her? If possible you can do the web chat with your family members. I hope you will do this my friend

Im almost the same. I miss my home and friends in the usa. I lived in las vegas for about 12 years. Moved back to mexico when my mom passed away. I really miss my home and friends there in usa. I hope to go back there soon. I also have my dad and 2 sisters there.

if i don't have to attend my courses, i will go back soon. but,i cannot,i have many courses to finish, i need to do that.when it comes to you, if you can dominate your time, i think it's meaningfull to take one chance to do waht you really want to do

Maybe you can write letters or e-mails to your family or friends. You can also give them a call if you miss them much. Or you can have Internet video chat with them, you can see them online and it's not expensive. When I was a college student, I could only go home once or twice in a year, I often missed my family like you. But when I gave my parents a call, I felt happy again, and not miss my family that much.

I have lived in my hometown for sixty years now and I don't know what I would do if I ever left. I have traveled when I was younger but only a couple of places really interested me. I woould make sure I made the most of the festival time when you are able to travel back home. Can you call or ask them to take videos and send them to you. I would take alot of pictures while I am there next time.

I moved out of my home town once, and I found that I missed my family more than I ever thought that I would. I know that I could have got in touch with them over the phone or the internet, but I was finding that even that wasn't enough and it meant that in the end I had to move home again. I have always been a little bit sad that I didn't give it enough time, but at the end of the day I don't think that I would have been happy staying in the town that I had moved to, so I do believe that I did the right thing in the long term.

hi sarah,
Technology help us to be connected without family well you can chat her so you can see each other. Just think that you need to finish your studies after that you can go back to your hometown and stay for a longer time.

You may visit your place so you can recharge. Find time, get in touch with your relatives there, to lessen the homesickness. I think it wopuld be also better,if you ask your mom to visit you in your place. Would that be ok? I'm for one, have those feelings, it's perfectly normal. I hope you can find time to visit your place becasue I'm planning to visit my Dad this coming November, you too ok. Thanks
