What to Bring

Here are some additional items you might find useful to bring from home:

• Medication that you are currently taking (access to prescribed drugs will vary in the U.S.)
• Medical history if you are under treatment or prone to illness
• Non-prescription remedies that you may commonly use (herbal, etc.)
• Extra pair of eyeglasses or personal hygiene products that may not be available in the U.S.
• Music (MP3s/CD's of your favorite music)
• Umbrella or rain coat
• Sports equipment such as tennis racket – though you can also borrow sports equipment from our campus recreation facilities
• A small token or gift from your country as a “thank you” to families whom you visit or others
• Sports clothes/bathing suit
• A photocopy of your passport main page and the visa page. (We would advise that the copy be kept separately from the original.)
