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

It varies from person to person on how often you phone home. Personally, I have a great relationship with my mom - she's one of my best friends, and I'm not ashamed of that! I like to update her on everything I'm doing at school, so usually I'll shoot her a text at least once a day. We talk on the phone around twice a week, too. My friend Mollie, on the other hand, only calls her parents when she needs something. Like I said, you'll discover just how often you should contact home once you get to school. Everyone is different. It's not necessarily something you can plan out ahead of time.
