Homesickness or adjustment problems can affect many areas of your life including your
mood, your studies and your relationships. For example, you may feel depressed, lonely,
stressed about learning your way around the university and your new environment. You may
find it harder to concentrate on your studies and lose motivation in your course. You may
also find that you are getting sick more often than usual. Things that you used to be able to
manage easily suddenly seem harder as self-esteem and confidence drop and you may
become more anxious about social interactions and making new friends.
