Planning Your Trip

Ideas to Keep Ahead of Schedule

  2. All payments are needed 40 days before departure.
  3. Contacting your home university or employeer to make sure everything is needed and in order before leaving to study abroad.
  4. Make sure register far enough in advance to ensure your lodging preferences, courses and flights are not already full.
  5. Wait to book your flights until the registration process is complete, just in case program is full.
  6. If registering for a summer program:

* It is very important to start the process as early as possible make sure the program is not full (Summer is the most popular time of the year).

* Airlines are generally full booked for Summer travel, and prices tend to fluctuate more due to high demand.

Travel Tips:

  • What you pack is important. Don't forget to take rain gear, comfortable shoes, and a warm coat for the heights. Make sure things that you know you will need get packed.
     
  • Create an emergency plan to be prepared if the unexpected were to happen
     
  • Make a financial plan for your trip - remembering to bring cash as well as credit and ATM cards. Credit card acceptance is not as high in many countries outside of the USA and Canada.
     
  • Travel safety is important when abroad. The most common crimes you will encounter while abroad involve petty theft or scams aimed at tourists.
     
  • World cultutures are different. While you will find many things to be the same while abroad - part of the experience is learning to integrate into the culture of your host country. And, don't hesitate to buy a good Travel Guide before setting out to any part of the world!
