Hi there.
I'm really excited to start at Birmingham City University in September, studying media production, but there is one thing that has been on my mind, especially since I had got my offer of accommodation.
I have never stayed away from home as long as I will be when I move in September, and I am worried about getting bad homesickness, which could tarnish my time getting settled into halls.
The longest I've ever stayed away from home is around a week or 2, back in 2017, since then I had only stayed away from home once, for one night.
Does anyone have any advice on how I could overcome homesickness, as well as the anxiety of moving away from home, so I can settle in and get started with my time at BCU?
