When you're studying abroad, whether you're exploring the historic streets of Seville or enjoying the vibrant culture of Bologna, staying hydrated is essential for maintaining your energy and overall health. Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially when you’re adjusting to a new climate, spending long hours exploring, or walking through the city. So why is hydration so crucial, and how can you make sure you’re getting enough water? Let’s dive in.
When studying abroad, safety should always be a top priority. While you’re free to explore and enjoy your time in a new country, we ask students to fill out travel forms if they plan on traveling outside of the city. This is not to micromanage or treat you like you're not capable adults—quite the opposite! It’s about ensuring that we have a way to quickly check on your safety in case of an emergency, whether it’s a global situation or something local to the area you’re visiting.
