<p>That’s great news. Thanks for letting us know.</p>
<p>zig - It’s great you are happier. Do you mind telling us what changed? Did you do anything in particular to improve your situation? It may help other students, especially international students.</p>
<p>Zigzagged - Thank you for the update! I am so glad that things are looking up. Best wishes.</p>
<p>This is going to a little sexist, be warned. </p>
<p>I got a 26 yo son. :)</p>
<p>Zig, I am so happy! Thanks for the update. You now know that you have the guts to hang in there when things are tough, which is a great thing to know about yourself.</p>
<p>BTW, not everyone needs a whole boatload of friends. People like you (and me) are better off with just a few really good ones. :)</p>
<p>Hi Zig, my son is an international student intending to study in the US, Class of 2015. We are just awaiting final scholarship offers. He has been studying for 10 years at a Private International school and has a few close friends. He is quite excited about the chance to study in the States, even though he has been accepted to the top university here. I’m sure, like you he will have some adjustments to make living in a foreign country, but in time I know he will do just fine.</p>
<p>I’m glad to hear things are much better for you. Just hang in there and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the rest of your time there. I too studied abroad, in Australia for a couple of years some time ago. It was difficult at the beginning and I was homesick, but after a few months, I made some good friends and everything turned out okay. I did not even want to go back home once I was done with school. So good luck and you are very lucky for the opportunity you’ve been given.</p>
