How do I get over being homesick? I feel like I have no friends here and I am really not clicking with my roommate. Also her MOM is living with us in the dorm for two weeks… I am really unhappy in the dorm. I’m not sure what to do. I didn’t think that I liked where I come from, but now that I’m gone, it’s all that I can think about. I am spending a year here and I don’t know how I am going to make it.
How long have you been there OP? Making new friends and adjusting, especially abroad, takes time. Are there clubs and activities you can get involved with? Programs to help explore your new city?
And what do you mean her mom is living with you in the dorm for two weeks!?! Is that even allowed? My daughter’s school has a three day visitor rule and it needs to be mutually agreed upon by all roommates, even for one overnight. I would talk to your roommate about that and if need be, pull in an RA.
In your other thread you say that you are a student at NYU and imply that you’ve been commuting for a year or two and have just moved in to the dorm. You also said that there was a roommate swap opportunity which you could take advantage of. Can you clarify?
I’d just try to be a friendly as possible to everyone and go to a lot of school events and activities
