<p>Looking for advise on how best to help my freshman daughter cope with homesickness, missing family friends and a boyfriend back home.</p>

<p>The boyfriend seems to be the big issue. They are constantly texting and chatting. How do I encourage her to meet new people and get out of her dorm?</p>

<p>I think she may feel that it is disloyal to him have fun and socialize without him.</p>

<p>What can I do to help her?</p>
