SCORING: Look at your responses to these five questions and read the statement below that best describes your responses.

ALL "A" RESPONSES: You are definitely homesick. Plan a quick visit home and then get busy with school. Chances are, you are not going to be to concentrate until you see the family. Get it behind you and move on!

MOSTLY "A" or "B" RESPONSES: You could probably benefit from a visit home, but don't go out of your way to see your family. Fall Break will be here before you know it, or Family Weekend will be a great time for your family to come visit you. Hang in there!

MOSTLY "C", "D" or "E" RESPONSES: Just because you don't miss the family, don't forget about them! Keep in touch with your family since this transition can be difficult on them as well. Drop them a line or send them a note every so often. Thanksgiving can seem like a long time away for your next visit!
