Are any other freshmen not feeling homesick at all because high school was miserable for them or is it just me?

I never felt homesick my freshman year, and have rarely felt homesick since (now in my final year of undergrad). You aren’t alone!

I feel like I could go another four months before seeing my family. I do miss my friends though

i didn’t feel homesick as a freshman. i was in state, but lived on campus so i could’ve gone home on weekends if i wanted to. i would go to my home city on days i didn’t have class to pick up prescriptions, but i wouldn’t tell anyone. i didn’t want to be back “home”. it’s okay to not feel homesick, even if you had a great high school experience

My high school experience was hell on earth, and tbh I AM kind of homesick, if only because living on my own is tough.

yeah, I didn’t end up going as far as I wanted but it’s nice to have a room with a door on it

For the first time since like 5th grade I have an actual friend group. I miss having a private space sure but I’ll take this over “home” any day

i'm not exactly homesick, but i miss home sometimes, especially my friends and the places we hang out. i miss my family too sometimes but i text them and call them so it's not super isolating

I don’t like living at home so I don’t get homesick and the only exception is once when I was 10 at sleepaway at camp

100%. I’m a senior and have not once gotten homesick. I’m both surprised and not. All I’ve got is just this constant sense of relief (and occasionally flashbacks).
