Add in the cost of the $600 flights round trip and there is no chance a student can go visit home when they feel a little homesick. I on the other hand had never even fathomed being homesick from the frozen tundra I called home.…

Starting to pack and load up the RV was all I could think about for days, seeing as this was the last summer we would all spend together.…
