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

You can call home as often as you want. Some people talk to their parents daily while others only talk to their parents every week or two. I probably text my mom about something (or she texts me) every few days, but I don't think I actually talk to her more than once or maybe twice a week at most. You may rarely call home at first because you're so ready to be away from home and then begin calling more often as you realize you miss them. Conversely, you may call all the time at first because you aren't used to being away for so long, but begin calling less and less as the year progresses.
