For those who went away to school
Do you still feel at home when you visit campus?
DH and I have season football tickets to the university I graduated from, so we are there 7 weekends every fall. I still feel very at home there ... I get a warm fuzzy feeling whenever I think about it. Even though I graduated (gasp) 10 years ago, it still has that draw for me.
Am I just weird?

I'm a special case since I ended up going back 5 years after I graduated to work off and on (more on) for the last 7 years.
They've done so much building that the campus doesn't look the same (they even took out the main road that went through campus) and the surrounding area has exploded from a building and population standpoint, so I don't know how I'd feel if I hadn't seen it in a while.
I do know that I need it to become my college in my mind again, not my place of employment. I kind of felt like I lost some of that part of me when I became part of the other side. Leaving was bittersweet, but I'm excited to be excited about things like homecoming again. In other ways, though, it is even more special since I've spent a significant portion of my life there. And I kind of do like the fact that they've paid me more in salary at this point than I paid in tuition, room and board
ETA: I do want to add that walking with the faculty in my doctorate robes on the graduation that was held 10 years after my own, with my colleagues who were my professors and watching some of my students who I had known for years accept their diplomas was one of the most special moments of my life.

Nope you're normal! I get that warm fuzzy feeling- I think even more so anymore. I think what's funny too- when I am on campus and I see people who are there for the first time, I still jump right in to help get them to where they need to go. We're an awfully friendly bunch in Athens.
The funny thing is the last time we were there, Jason actually got homesick for the town. I never thought I'd see the day!
Considering I work for my alma mater... not really. (I did go away to school but ended up staying after graduation) When I go back into the math & science building I am taken back to all the time I spent there studying and writing lab reports, not sure if I would describe that as warm and fuzzy! But a lot of good memories since I met M when we he was finishing up his last year and we spent a lot of nights studying together!
My dad went to FSU, and has been a season ticket holder since before I was born. (In fact the tickets are actually willed to me since if you die and they don't go to a specific person you lose them, morbid, I know but my dad wants to keep them in the family) I grew up going to football games with my dad, and my brother had little interest. I really wanted to go to FSU too, but out of state tuition was so high compared to instate and the scholarships I had. But every year when I go to the first game with my dad, I feel at home, and I didn't grow up in Tallahassee or go to school there, just from the memories of games, of being with my dad and visiting my grandparents. So I get it
