Suggestions or recommendations of our survey

Based on this survey we found that over 90% international students are feel homesick. As we all  know we  are all from different countries and cities. So  you do not  need to worry about that. When you feel  homesickness you must know that is a common situation in most  international students.

First, when students have feeling about miss their hometown, one of suggestions are do not put themselves in that emotion, just do something make they feel happy. For example, like hang out with their friends, explore some new place or participate several activity groups . Find someone keep you company and talk about your  feeling .This solution really helpful for students to deal with the homesick problem.
Second , the students can connect with someone they really miss even they are not here. They could received some emotion support and its help them more confident and feel better. Hence, this solution can help students who struggle with homesick issue can overcome their obstacles.

The last solution is doing something that you are really interested such as: play games, watch videos, cooking some traditional foods... Our result indicate 30% of respondents miss their traditional foods, thus try to cook something that you like and miss the most. In this case, not only you can reduce your homesickness but also you can improve your skill and keep your body healthier.

    Hi Melinda and Trang,

    Thanks for submitting your suggestions recommendations. They are thoughtful and well-considered, however they are not supported by academic articles. Use references to support your recommendations and suggestions.

    There are also some word form and grammar issues, especially with modal (could receive, not could received) and plural noun forms. Please use the same font throughout and do not use '...' in academic tasks.

    Overall, good work!

    Ashley
