<p>My mom visited me with my little sister two weeks into the semester for the day (I’m a freshman) and I went home for the first time this past weekend after about five weeks of being here. Oh and my school is about 2 hrs away.</p>
<p>Basically Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. I live a 19 hour drive away and flying usually involves two layovers because I literally live in the sticks. I don’t get homesick though, luckily…</p>
<p>I thought you only go home for holidays. Why would you want to leave? I think it would be more fun in the dorms on the weekend. Except if you have pets, thats a good reason to go home. Thats why all colleges should have pet friendly dorms.</p>
<p>It isn’t more fun in the dorms on the weekends. For me at least. </p>
<p>I live in an all-girls dorm and compared to the co-ed dorms that I lived in for the past two years, it is so quiet on weekend. I swear, sometimes I think I’m the only one in the dorm (my roommate goes home on the weekends). I wish I could have my dog here. He would keep me company :D</p>
<p>^ I feel the same way! It’s so quiet that sometimes I feel like I’m trapped in the Twilight Zone and it turns out I’m the only one who goes to my school. Even when you go walk around campus and everywhere there’s no one. And yet the parking lots will still be pretty full…kinda creepy…</p>
<p>Dorms here are definitely boring on weekends. There’s so much more to do at home. My city’s where most people would leave to go have fun on the weekends!</p>
<p>Every weekend. I am only 30 minutes away. Next semester i will be forced to stay because of sports.</p>
<p>Every three weeks, for free laundry and a homecooked meal :)</p>
<p>2-3 times a year.</p>
<p>I go home once every 3-5 weeks. Well, at least I did last year. This year I’ll see my family closer to every three weeks because of family weekend, then veterans day weekend, and then thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Last year I went home about every 3 weeks. This year, I’ve been home once (this weekend will be the second time)…the first time was after being here for 5.5 weeks, and that was 2 weeks ago. It’s fall break this weekend though, so I might as well go home.</p>
<p>As little as possible.</p>
Every other weekend, not including regularly-scheduled breaks like holiday breaks, Spring break, etc.
