“This is my first time away from home, and I’m having a
really hard time adjusting. Last week, my parents called to tell me that my dog died.
Trying to deal with the loss of my dog when I already miss my family has been really hard.
I’ve been crying a lot, and I don’t know how to get past this. I was wondering if
someone at SCRS could help me figure out how to be more comfortable away from my family?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- Give you a space in which you can talk about how hard it’s been to be away from home
- Support you through this transition, and help you to find ways of seeing the university as your new home
