The purpose of this module is to have you start thinking of the ways that your host university and/or host culture may approach health, safety, and security differently than in the United States. Although its hard to predict, we will go through practices that can help you anticipate potential differences.
We will also go through general health and safety tips you should consider before and during your time abroad. Based on feedback from study abroad alumni, it doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned traveler or it’s your first time abroad, the reality is that something can happen to anyone during study abroad and so it's important to be prepared.
