The exact number of students who are homesick in other countries is difficult to determine as it can vary greatly depending on various factors such as the individual's personality, support system, and the length of time they have been away from home. However, homesickness is a common experience among international students. According to a blog post on International Student Insurance, homesickness is a greater challenge for new international students traveling for the first time to study abroad, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The post suggests that homesickness can manifest in feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress when students are away from familiar people and places. It also provides tips on how to cope with homesickness, such as allowing oneself to feel sad, finding a new favorite place in the host country, practicing self-care, talking to new people, and keeping in touch with loved ones back home. Another blog post on the Great Learning website also offers tips on overcoming homesickness when studying abroad, including having a daily routine, maintaining connections with loved ones, embracing the new cultural experience, engaging in social activities, seeking support, making exercise a priority, and embracing the opportunity to learn something new. These resources suggest that homesickness is a common experience among international students, but they do not provide specific statistics on the number of students affected.
