PRE-DEPARTURE; Orientation

Today was the Study Abroad Office's orientation part one for the fall students and in it they covered many aspects from traveling safely, to packing smart.

I really enjoyed the informative tips they had for us, and even if it wasn't required for all the students going abroad I would still highly recommend it.

Much of the information was covered in our handbooks and was animated and personalized with stories from students and staff making it more interesting to know about.

There were stories from students in Japan, China and elsewhere that really helped to give examples of what to, and not to do for various areas of the world.

We learned to stay safe, be smart and have fun, just like my mommy always told me.

I even found out about this great site as they suggested,  One Bag that shows how to pack in one bag for convenience just as I was planning before, though I was originally considering 2 bags both carry on.
