Concentrate on your new surroundings and friends, not your old ones.
Hide pictures and mementos that make you homesick.
Accept any invitations from roommates or classmates.
Schedule time for an activity that puts you in contact with other people, such as sports, study sessions or volunteering.
Exercise or meet a friend for a cup of coffee. Exercise and caffeine are natural stimulants that can lift your spirits.
Avoid activities that isolate you from others, like reading or watching television.
Keep an open mind. Try at least one new activity.
