Thousands of students who choose to attend a university close to home go home quite often on the weekends for a number of reasons. Many of these students want to go home to sleep in their own bed, bathe in their own shower, see their family, and eat a home cooked meal after a long without those privileges. Some students suffer from homesickness because they cannot deal with the stresses of having to live on their own, even though they spent month’s looking forward to moving out of the house before college. Another reason why is simply because their parents miss them and want to see them on a regular basis. There is usually nothing wrong with going home every once in a while to get away from your everyday life in college to recharge your batteries and catch up on your home life. However, if a student makes a habit of going home every single weekend, it could end up setting that student back in a couple of aspects.
Students that go h
ome every weekend are holding themselves back from getting involved on campus and developing their social lives as a college student. The weekends are a time to relax, to meet new people, to hang out with friends, to attend on or off campus events, or to finish up studying and homework assignments. For the students that go home every weekend, they isolate themselves from an entire aspect of college life that helps to shape a person in a more well-rounded and balanced human being. They miss out on prime opportunities to get involved in their new community and connect with other college students. From an academic standpoint, students do not have access to specific resources they may need to do their assignments. Also, the home setting may be more distracting for some students to do homework, thus they put it off until they get back to school and this can create more stress. It is very important for students who have the option of going home to find a balance between their college life and home life so they do not hold themselves back from new life opportunities presented to them.
