Freshers, how many times have you been home since you have started?

I have been home 3 out of 4 weekends so far.

What about you? :biggrin:

There is nothing wrong with being close with your family, and going to see them.

What is unmanly about seeing family? When I started first year I was back home every fortnight. You miss them a lot more when you can't visit them, so you might as make use of the ability while you still can.

Then why move in the first place. I'm close with my family but I don't NEED to see them so soon. Its the first month ffs

I didn't say it was wrong just you need to adapt to not seeing them often
Haven't yet, going back next weekend though :smile:

Everyone is different. But congratulations on your so called manliness by not visiting your family. :h:

Some people move out because its difficult to commute to university everyday.. and some people do feel the need to see them every weekend. Get over it.

For university? I'd prioritise my education over being close to home. If you feel people need to 'man up' if they want to see family, you don't sound like someone who's close with theirs.

But why? If you have the option to visit home and can afford it that can just be your routine.

Agreed. In freshers my parents visited me the first weekend, then I had a weekend at uni and then visited them the next weekend.

I know I do, but I have found it hard so I have been going back.

independence and going back home to visit family are two separate things. what visiting home makes you less of a man? pfft! if anything it makes you more of a man!

Actually I agree with bitter sweet. He's right. People who run back home are mummy's boys/daddy's girl types that need hand holding and constant validation from their parents.

I am sure many freshers go home or their parents/family come to see them. I would think it is fairly normal as uni is such a big change and their will be others who feel like they don't need to.

not necessarily. it can be a big jump moving away and it can be harder for some than others. doesnt make anyone them a mummys boy.
a little familiarity while going through change never hurt anyone.
and its not a bad thing to get validation from parents whilst settling in. only the first few weeks. no one is ever going to have time to go back home all the time once they are fully settled
