The Learning Abroad Center offers travel advising appointments! Consider meeting with a travel adviser to help prepare you for your travels abroad. Travel advisers may also be able to help you with basic logistics, such as money matters, general transportation issues, and recommended sites to visit.

For specific issues, such as finding a place to stay, costs, etc., it is highly recommended that you consult a travel guide book. The Learning Abroad Center has over 500 titles in its travel library, including the most recent Lonely Planet guidebooks.

Due to the changing nature of visa requirements and processes, travel advisers are not able to offer assistance with these matters. For information on entry requirements and visas, visit the State Department web site.
