<p>I live on campus, but my house is only 30 minutes away. How often should I go home to visit my parents? I am very close with my family and friends back in my hometown, but I don't want to look like someone who goes home all of the time. How often should you go home if you live within a close distance to your school? Every other weekend? Every weekend? Once a month? Thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>I go every other weekend. But it depends on how much u want to</p>
<p>I live 2 hours away and I haven’t gone home yet (been at college since September 19.) It really just depends on you, but I’d highly recommend not going home every weekend. I would say every three weekends would be good.</p>
<p>Whenever you have laundry to do… hah</p>
<p>My college roommate went home every Sunday for dinner.</p>
<p>^is a great idea</p>
<p>You wouldn’t even have to go on the weekends if you’re that close. Heck, I commuted to college everyday and it was 45+ minutes away. If you are done with classes early in the day and can spare a trip home until the evening, then go for it. Or if you only have classes 4 out of 5 days, then you can use that extra day to go home. But that is assuming you don’t mind making up homework on your weekends, but it would keep you around campus more when you really want to be there.</p>
<p>Our son went to a college an hour away. When he started, he was told he had to stay there a month before he came home. Best way to become part of the student culture and meet others who couldn’t just race home. Plus we were paying for him to eat and sleep there. After that we hardly saw him. Maybe twice a semester outside of scheduled breaks and attending his sporting events. Keep in touch with your family, but use this time to take advantage of all your school has to offer.</p>
<p>I go about every 3-4 weeks.</p>
<p>depends how much you like your parents,</p>
<p>Some people go once a week, twice a month, once a month. Depends on how much you like your place or your parents.</p>
<p>also depends on how close you are and how busy you are</p>
<p>I know a bunch of kids from the Columbia area and some go home every weekend, others go home only during official breaks. Lord, I know a girl who goes home all of the time, just because she likes to take baths over showers, but she only lives 15 minutes away.</p>
<p>I live an hour and a half away from school and I’ve gone home twice so far. I’ve been here since August 13. We just had our fall break.</p>
<p>However often you want…? Who cares if people think you go home too often? Not their problem.</p>
<p>Go home as much as you want to…?</p>
<p>Why is this a question</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Exactly this. You live half an hour away, just go home whenever the mood strikes you.</p>
