Packing

It only makes sense to learn from those who have already spent a semester or more abroad.
Below is advice from past students on what to pack.

Things to bring...

Plug Adapters! This was the number one item that students were glad they brought.

You will need US to Continental Europe adapters.

Keep in mind that these do not convert voltage which jumps from 110 to 220 and will ruin electronics such as hair straighteners. Computers and phones are generally able to handle 220 but you can double check by reading the battery label.
