An irresistible urge to return home; homesickness: When away on a foreign exchange program in Germany, one of the students was afflicted with philopatridomania and flew back to his family within a month of his stay.
It is not uncommon for young students to have a case of philopatridomania, if it is the very fist time to be away from home and family.
