    Ex: 家へ勉強に帰る. (I'm going back home to study)

You may want to change it to 帰る instead of 来る, Michael... :-D

Yes, we do!!
I also have a question about this grammer point-

(Noun)+に帰る... is this how you say 'return to a (noun)'?

e.g.　学校に帰る- return to school?

I would have thought so but the 'meaning' entry says otherwise :-S

Thanks for any help!

There are two forms of the N に 帰る. When it's a place, it works as you have noted. I'll add that in. Thanks!
