There are many considerations students should make before departing for their education abroad program. To help you have a successful journey and make the most of your time abroad, we've included the travel essentials here: from pre-departure preparations to immigration documents to international travel tips. 

Please note that students are responsible for creating their own travel arrangements. The Education Abroad office can offer general guidance to students on booking flights, obtaining immigration documents, and preparing for international travel, but we cannot complete those steps on a student's behalf. 

To learn more about other Penn State students' experiences abroad and get insight into how to make the most of your own education abroad opportunity, explore some of our Student Spotlights. After you return home, consider submitting one yourself to help future education abroad participants!
