Packing 

Pack light! During the semester, students tend to accumulate a lot of things without realizing it. Plan for all types of weather and bring clothes that can be layered to avoid carrying around extra weight.

Here is a list of things to pack that students often forget:

·   Gift for Host Family

·   Additional Copy of all Important Documents

·   Guide Book

·   Pocket Dictionary

·   Backpack for Weekend Traveling

·   Journal

·   Money Belt

·   Prescription Medicine (for ENTIRE stay & copy of prescription receipt)

·   Small Umbrella

·   Family Photos

·   Alarm Clock

·   Electrical Converter and/or Adaptor

·   Medical Kit: Be prepared for minor health problems with a home medical kit including bandages, gauze, adhesive tape, sterile cleansers, antibacterial cream, painkillers, anti-diarrhea medicine, insect repellent (for any warm climate), and sun block
