the impact of the homesick experience on students’
academic performance and retention in the first
year in college. The findings reveal 2 constructs
underlying the homesickness scale: homesick
separation and homesick distress. Demographic
variables found to impact students’ level of
homesickness included gender, residence, and parental education. Homesick distress resulted in a
significant, albeit small, explanation of the variance
of first-semester GPA and first-year retention. | |
