Oh I meant it was hard for me not her. She does miss home some but she is so busy with her classes and her old and new friends (she was lucky her dorm roommate is one of her best friends from high school) to get too sad. And being close to home she can visit, she came home for the long weekend, this weekend, though I have yet to see her, but all her friends and the rest of the family has, she is spending the day with me tomorrow, as I am taking her back to campus. I hope you find a family among friends if you haven't yet. Sometimes friends can be like family when you can't be near them. I traveled for 3 years when I was young away from family and friends that was like family made it easier.

Yeah, I can understand your point.
Even it is more hard for my mom than it is for me. I leave in an apartment with 3 other friends from my country Nepal. They are really like a family. And not only that, most of the nearby apartments are all like Nepalese. And it just feels like our own society. You know, this is so easy for the "home" part for me. But, as you can see, it's not the same for my parents.
Also, this is not always going to be what it looks today, things are going to change and adaptation is the key!!
