Tips to make the homesick college student feel closer to home.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Many college students away from home for the first time get home sick. Some don't want to admit it, but they do. An easy way to remind them of home would be to send them a subscription to your local newspaper. That way, they can read and see the news from home and still feel a part of the community.

  2. Step 2

    Send them photos from home and around town. It is amazing what can make you feel like home when you aren't there. Take your camera with you the next time you run errands and take photos of all the local hang outs.

  3. Step 3

    Send flavors from home. Yes, moms still send cookies but how about sending something your town, or state is known for? If you are from farm country, you might send a jar of locally grown popcorn.
