 I think that what the article says has good and bad info in it. I would tell the kids that to fit in quick and make friends fast is to join a sport or a club. If they do join a sport they have there friends on the team to help them out. And to keep from getting home sick put pictures up on your walls of friends and family back in your home town. Also work on you English every night so you can talk to people more easily. And yes be patient everything will come to you at some point.
