How NOT to go Crazy Packing for Your Semester
Abroad
3

• Narrow it down. Take everything you plan to bring
  and spread it out across your bed. Then cut the
  quantity in half.
• You will not need more than five pairs of pants
  and 10 shirts during your time abroadespecially
  if you take colors that are neutral and can be
  paired with different colored cardigans/jackets,
  scarves, etc.
• When I went abroad, I only took four pairs of
  pants, 4-5 tank tops/camisoles, 1-2 blouses, two
  cardigans and one coat. When I got to my study
  abroad destination, I bought five scarves.
• This was the perfect amount and I only needed
  one big suitcase, which still gave me plenty of
  room for all my toiletries and everything else I
  wanted to bring.

• Leave your beauty products at home. Do not pack
  your straightener/hair dryer/electric razor. You
  will most likely end up burning it out on its
  first use in another country.
• The best thing to do, especially if you live in
  an apartment, is to buy whatever hair/shaving
  appliances you need when you arrive, split the
  cost between you and your roommates, and use them
  communally.
• I would also recommend bringing travel-sized
  shampoo, soap, etc., and then replenish your
  supply once youre settled in your new
  destination. That should be enough to hold you
  over until after orientation.

5

• Get an adapter for electronics. Invest in an
  adapter kit, especially if you plan to travel
  outside of your main destination (which you
  should) during your semester abroad.
• These kits typically range from about 10 to 20
  but it will save you tons in the long run, and
  prevent you from constantly replacing new
  appliances while youre Study loan abroad.

6

• Swap your computer for a tablet. I would suggest
  investing in a tablet of some sort to do all your
  school work.
• Hear me out! Computers typically weigh anywhere
  from 7-12 pounds and a tablet weighs less than
  one pound.
• You can download tons of apps to create and save
  documents (Google drive/docs is my favorite!) and
  buy a keyboard that allows you to take notes in
  class.
• Tablets are small and portable and you will be so
  glad you didnt lug your computer alongI wish I
  hadnt taken mine. Im sure youll use your
  tablet even more once you get back home, so it
  will be money well spent!

7

• Pack efficiently.  A really great method for
  packing your clothes is to either A) roll them or
  B) buy some vacuum seal bags.
• You wouldnt believe how much room you save in
  your suitcase just by rolling up your clothes
  super tight!
