Real Questions. Honest Answers.
What should I actually pack?
Documents first, then essentials.
Keep your passport, visa and admission papers in your hand luggage. Pack clothes for the season, chargers and a few personal items. You can buy much of the rest after you arrive.
Can I bring my regular medication?
Check the rules before you travel.
Rules differ by country and airline. Carry prescriptions and supporting documents and check the destination's requirements in advance.
How do I find accommodation?
Start early.
University residences, private student residences and shared apartments each have different costs and deadlines. We help you compare them and plan your budget.
