Study Abroad Students

Study Abroad students now have their own section under the My Wellness tab on the Wellness Center website.

Check it out for tips on how to stay healthy while in another country.

Here's a sample:

• Smoking is much more prevalent in other societies, but it doesn’t make it any healthier. If you don’t smoke now, don’t pick it up while abroad!
  


• Homesickness is a typical symptom of being away from loved ones. Keep in touch through email or Skype, but also recognize that building relationships with people in your host country will help you overcome this part of your study abroad experience.
  


• Go out in groups. The threats facing women in the US are the same in different countries. Always be aware of your surroundings and be vocal if the situation becomes uncomfortable.
