Milania Giudice might have gotten a little "homesick" this year while studying at the University of Tampa, but The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter has still been finding ways to keep in touch with her mom, Teresa Giudice, while she's away from home.
Milania took to her Instagram Story earlier this week, where she revealed how she's been staying close to her mom through FaceTime, in spite of them living so many states away between Florida and New Jersey. The college freshman posted a screenshot of her FaceTiming Teresa, who looked absolutely stunning in the photo, smiling for the camera with her makeup done to the nines. Milania, on the other hand, can be seen in the corner of the photo, posing alongside her mom. Although they might be not be in the same state, they are still able to make the time for one another, no matter what is going on in their lives.
"Mom I miss [you] so much I love [you]," Milania wrote over the super sweet snapshot, tagging Teresa. "[You] are so pretty."
Below, learn all about Milania's freshman year of college, see inside her dorm room, and find out why choosing the University of Tampa was so special to her.
What is Milania Giudice's major in college?
Just as Milania is finishing up her freshman year, she's made a major decision on what she plans to study. Milania took to her dad Joe Giudice's Instagram Live earlier this month where she made her big announcement.
"My major is advertisement and public relations," she stated.
Why did Milania Giudice attend the University of Tampa?
Milania specifically chose to attend college in Florida to be closer to her dad, who currently lives in the Bahamas. Milania appeared on a March 2024 episode of Teresa's former podcast, Namaste B$tches, where she explained how this impacted the decision.
"I really thought about it, like, 'Wait a minute. Florida is 30 minutes away from my dad on a plane. That's so amazing.' So, whenever I have a few days off of class or something, I'll go see my dad," she said. "It's [going] to be so great."
It also helps that Florida is much warmer than Milania's home state of New Jersey.
"I knew I want warm weather because I'm so over the cold," she explained. "I want to be close to the beach."

The New Jersey native has certainly made Florida her home, starting with her dorm room. Milania took to TikTok in September, where she gave a full tour of the room that she shares with two other roommates. The room is complete with a small sitting area that overlooks the room's "beautiful view," a full length mirror, and small odes to Milania's sorority, Sigma Delta Tau.
Milania's bed area, which Teresa showed in an Instagram post in August, channels her personal style, with her name lit up in neon behind her bed, fashion-forward artwork on the walls, and plenty of leopard accents placed around her. "Our dorm is very big, cute, and fun and I love it!" Milania noted in the TikTok tour.
Inside Giudice sisters Audriana and Gabriella's visit to Milania's college
Although she might be a little far from home, Milania hasn't gone without family time, as her sisters have come to visit her in the sunshine state.
In January, Gabriella Giudice (who is currently enrolled at the the University of Michigan) and Audriana Giudice made their way to Florida to hang out with Milania for Tampa's Gasparilla Pirate Festival. The trio dressed up in their best pirate garb, hung out on the water, and got in some major bonding time together.
"Best day of the year," Milania wrote in the caption of an Instagram post.
Milania has also been able to spend time with her oldest sister, Gia Giudice, while visiting their dad. In February, Gia, Milania, and Audriana reunited with Joe in the Bahamas, who was competing in a boxing match. Joe walked away with the win and with the support of his daughters.
Details on Milania Giudice's daily life at college
It's safe to say that Milania has been having a blast during her freshman year. She's been attending college formals and making new friends, all while still making the time to travel and visit her family in New Jersey. But when she isn't so busy, her average day in Tampa is quite simple.
Milania took to TikTok in September, where she showed off a day in the life at college, which involves her making her bed, getting a workout in the morning, attending classes, tanning at the pool, and studying. "It's actually beautiful at my school," she said in the video. "I'm obsessed. I can't even. Look how beautiful."
