In all honesty, you never get over it. It comes and goes in waves like all forms of grief. But what I can say, is if you feel like you get homesick once a week, set up once a week to call your family. If you can go home that often, you should. You’ll make many fantastic memories in college and find joy and peace living away from home. But every once and a while, you’ll really just want your mom, or dad, or dog, and that’s okay.

I’m in my late 20’s. My parents are gone, I still get homesick. I just want to go home. It gets easier.
