Points that should be kept in mind while travelling to new destination:

• Make yourself aware about country’s environment where you are going for study.
• Keep in your mind visa conditions laid down for international students.
• Keep copies of all your documents in different places where they can be easily accessed in an emergency, and keep the originals in your hand luggage. Leave a copy of all of your important documents with someone at home. Never agree to bring a bag or other items to any country from someone else as it may contain something illegal and you will be held accountable for it.
• Learn about the climate, especially the winter season and the rainy season so that one is adequately prepared with warm-clothing, rain-gear etc.
• Pack Prescriptions for regular medications that you need to take along with prescription letter.
