Resources for Student Travelers



Get in-the-Know Before You Go

We cannot stress enough how important it is to learn as much as you can about your host country before you depart the United States.  Life abroad will be much more interesting if you have solid context for what you are about to experience, and this knowledge will serve you well in conversations with your new professors and fellow peers.  Simply put, people will respect you and appreciate your genuine desire to be there and to take the time to learn and observe local culture and traditions.
