How often should I phone home? Is once a day too much?

Ruth

It doesn't hurt to home phone once a day for a short conversation. I didn't more because I didn't find the time to, but my roommate did. If you get homesick easily, I would advise against phoning home every day.

It depends on the person, and it's something you'll figure out once you're at school. Who's to say that talking to your family is too much? The only downside is that you might be a bit more homesick, or might miss a few minutes hanging out with friends. I have a friend who talks to her mom on a daily basis and another who calls maybe once a month. It all depends on your relationship and how much you want to be on your own.
