For
many
first
-
year
students
,
the
University
may
be
their
first
____________________
living
away
from
home
for
an
____________________
period
of
time
.
It
is
a
definite
____________________
from
home
.
In
my
point
of
view
this
is
the
best
thing
that
you
can
do
.
I
know
you
have
to
____________________
for
yourself
,
cook
and
clean
after
yourself
,
basically
look
after
yourself
without
your
parents
but
the
truth
is
?
some
time
in
your
life
you
are
going
____________________
have
____________________
part
with
lovely
Mummy
and
Daddy
.
But
they
are
only
just
a
phone
call
away
and
it
is
really
good
to
have
some
____________________
time
without
them
.
The
first
few
weeks
can
be
a
____________________
period
.
There
may
be
____________________
about
forming
friendship
.
When
new
students
look
around
,
it
____________________
seem
that
everyone
else
is
self
-
confident
and
socially
successful
!
The
reality
is
that
everyone
is
having
the
same
____________________
.
Increased
personal
freedom
can
feel
both
wonderful
and
____________________
.
Students
can
come
and
go
as
they
choose
with
no
one
to
?
hassle
?
them
.
The
strange
environment
with
new
kinds
of
procedures
and
new
people
can
create
the
sense
of
being
on
an
emotional
roller
coaster
.
This
is
normal
and
to
be
expected
.
You
meet
so
many
more
people
in
the
halls
than
if
you
stayed
at
home
.
The
____________________
points
about
living
away
from
home
are
:
no
____________________
!
You
don't
have
to
tell
them
where
you're
going
,
who
you're
going
with
,
what
time
you'll
be
coming
,
why
you're
going
etc
.
etc
.
You
learn
various
____________________
skills
;
you
have
to
____________________
along
with
your
roommates
Living
with
them
can
____________________
special
,
sometimes
intense
,
problems
.
Negotiating
respect
of
personal
property
,
personal
space
,
sleep
,
and
relaxation
needs
,
can
be
a
complex
task
.
The
complexity
increases
when
roommates
are
of
different
backgrounds
with
very
different
values
.
It
is
____________________
to
expect
that
roommates
will
be
best
friends
.
____________________
,
new
relationships
should
not
be
expected
to
develop
overnight
.
It
took
a
great
deal
of
time
to
develop
intimacy
in
high
school
friendships
;
the
same
will
be
true
of
____________________
in
university
friendships
.
You
have
a
phone
!
So
if
you
ever
get
homesick
or
miss
you
Mummy
then
she's
always
at
the
____________________
of
a
phone
-
line
for
you
?
and
so
are
your
friends
.
____________________
of
things
that
you
rely
on

to
new
environments
