Lindsey Gilmore, Associate Director of Housing at Bellarmine University knows each year there will be students who experience homesickness.  In short, they want to go home for the weekend or for a few days. But Ms. Gilmore says the better response to feeling homesick may be to stick it out.  She says make friends, take part in some of the many campus events, join a club or get to know the campus better.  Each year she assigns residence life coordinators the task of finding those first year students who seem to be spending a lot of time alone and charges her coordinators with helping and welcoming those students to the college experience.
