<p>My D is a sophomore. The toughest part for me when she feels extremely homesick, more so 2nd year, then freshman year. And it is despite of tons of friends and various activities that she got herself involved in, the fact that she loves her school and all her major / minor classe, has envious job and doing exceptionally well academically. I have hardest time finding what to tell her when she is homesick except that she cannot be in two places. I never know what to say and I end up not sleeping for few nights. She is very outgoing with clse friends accumulated around her since she was 3 years old. I cannot even imagine how really shy / lonely kids feel.</p>
