The Study Abroad Pre-departure Guide gives tips on what to pack, how to prepare, and general tips on living abroad. This is not an all inclusive or country specific guide to living abroad. For a more detailed perspective of life in your host country, such as cultural behaviors, daily life, safety, and cost of living, we recommend reading "Let's Go" and other travel guides.

All students studying abroad are required to attend a pre-departure orientation before departure.
