Packing for Study Abroad Programs
Find out what the climate is like where you will be studying so you can pack accordingly. Students who have traveled abroad before will tell you it's important to keep certain items in your carry-on baggage, primarily the following things:
- Passport
- Visa
- vaccination certificate (African)
- Tickets
- Glasses or contacts
- Prescription medications
- Cash
- pictures of your family
- favorites snacks from your country
The motto for checked baggage is "Less is more." Pack as little as possible, because you will be able to shop when you settle in. The airlines will limit the amount of bags you may check, and you will probably have limited storage space in your residence abroad. However, there are a few essentials that you should remember to bring with you:
- Student I.D.
- Proof of insurance
- Backpack for day trips
- Prescriptions
- Camera
- Gift (if you're staying with a host family)
