18. Get A Job
Not only will they give you money in exchange for turning up every month, getting a job looks great on your CV if you study full time. Those of you that work full time, have children and study full time are known as The Untouchables: they are super human. It's also a good idea to feel more settled and develop a routine if you're not from the local area. Your colleagues and the public you have to deal with will automatically take your mind off of being homesick and you'll learn to become super organised and efficient, even if you're really bad at the sales job you managed to get.
