| Baggage
and Shipping Advice |
|
| Baggage
Limits |
When
packing, be aware of the airline limitations
on baggage. Airline regulations are
stricter now and you will be charged for excess
pieces of baggage or weight. Check with your
airline for specific information on baggage allowances.
|
| Passport |
Always
carry your passport and important documents (such
as DS 2019) with you for easy access when passing
through immigration and customs. Put essential
documents and other items you will need immediately
in your carry-on luggage in case your checked-in
luggage is delayed.
|
| Prescription
Drugs |
If
you are bringing prescription drugs, please keep
them with you in their original containers. Bring
a copy of the doctor's written prescription for
any drugs you bring with you.
|
| Travel
Light |
| It
is always best to travel light, since most items
you may need are available in the U.S. Some items
suggested by other exchange students to bring: |
• sewing
kit • electric outlet adapter (110 volts) • travel
alarm clock • Copy of medical and dental
records (including TB tests) • good walking
shoes
• address book & diary • photos of family and friends • mementos
of your country • catalogs or other information about your university
