This home sick thing is pretty crazy! I met this girl last year at Marquette dental who was just about to start her first year. She's from LA, CA and she complaint about Milwaukee, WI all summer long. She cried (literately) about being home sick, missing her friends, boyfriend, family, blah, blah, blah. I was sympathic at first, but after her continuously bitched and moaned about how she hated Milwaukee, WI and that she had to be there because Marquette was the only dental school that she got into, I wanted to smack her across the face to shut her up!! She also said over and over, "I'm leaving next year, I'm leaving next year!", "I'm transfering after my first year, I'm transfering!" Girl, SHUT UP!!! Man, I can't stand her!
Bottom line, it's perfectly fine to miss home, but try not to go overboard. Your classmates will be irritated, I guarantee!! Hopefully you all will enjoy your individual dental schools enough where it will be your second home.
As for me, leaving home is a bit sad and I'll miss my "rents" much, but I CAN'T WAIT to be down in FL for my dental education. Home sick you ask? Naaaaah, not so much....maybe "morning sickness" from hangovers!! <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" />
I wish you all happiness because being uplifted will contribute a lot to your academic success! I've said it many times, it's great to pick a dental school that has a great academic reputation, but if you're not happy there, then that reputation it's not worth your time or money!!!
