One of the most essential aspects of your student′s study abroad is experience is proper preparation.

What they do, or don′t do, before they even leave home can determine the quality of their abroad experience.  A student who forgoes a simple task such as making copies of their passport can regret at leisure if their passport is lost or stolen.  The student′s study abroad experience is ultimately their own responsibility.  The extent to which they take their preparation seriously may determine how successful they are in their time abroad.
