Visiting family during term time

During term time, how often would you like to visit your family and loved ones if you lived away from home? :wink:

- Occasionally weekends
- Occasionally weekdays
- Only during holiday period
- Whenever feel like it
- Never
I went home every other weekend in first year, been home twice this year
I only ever go back to where I grow up during the holidays and even then a week is far too long. I hate where I come from and I hope to never return once I graduate. I will never consider that place "home"
I only went back during holidays but it was always my plan for my uni city to become my home anyway.
Me too, It's a drag going back and there is nothing you can do about it

I have never gone home during term time. In first year my parents visited mid-term in first and second term, though not third, and in second year (current) I've not had anyone visit during term. This is due to two things - it's a 3 hour drive between home and my uni town, so they'd have to stay the night really, and also I'm way too busy during term to be able to sacrifice a whole day or two.
Never.

I don't go back in the holidays either as I consider myself fully moved out now (living with boyfriend etc). I visited for four days just before Christmas but that's the only time I've been back since August. I live 8 hours away, it's quite a trek.

I go home maybe two or three times a semester. My uni is 90 miles away from home, so sometimes my parents come up to visit me for a couple of hours.

Is that because you now have more coursework to do in your second year or perhaps you have met new friends so prefer to stay at university? :colondollar:

And where are you from, may I ask? There must be something good about this place?

I'm from a tiny town in the South East. There's honestly nothing good about it at all. It's the vilest place on earth
its fine to visit family :smile: i used to go every 2 weeks for football until i got banned XD now theres no reason to go home, so i generally just go whenever there is a end of term or family event i need to attend.
