If you have successfully completed the application and been accepted into the program, you are now ready for the next level of preparation. You will be sent a Student Handbook that will contain everything you need to know to prepare for your experience abroad, but we cannot emphasize enough the need to:
- Read the Student Handbook carefully and fully;
- Save as much money as possible – you can always use extra while abroad;
- Make copies of your passport and all important documents and cards in your purse or wallet in case they are lost or stolen;
- Make a budget that considers all expenses while abroad – books, meals, course lab fees, personal travel, Permit of Stay, etc;
- Get a laptop and bring it with you if possible;
- Understand that there will be challenges as well as amazing opportunities while studying abroad – keep an open mind and make a firm commitment to complete the program.
