Ultimate Guide For Study Abroad Packing: Do’s and Don’ts

First of all, Congratulations. You’ve taken a great decision about studying abroad. It’s time to prepare for the big day. 

You must be puzzled about what to take and what not to take. There are so many people like. Put your worries to rest. 

So many students find it difficult when they forget to pack essential things. After getting suggestions from 1000s of students studying abroad, we prepared this ultimate study abroad packing guide. 

This do’s and don’ts list will come in handy while your packing things. Without further ado, let’s get started. 

1. Do Take Layered Clothes

You are not gonna live in Antarctica where it’s cold throughout the year. So, it’s good to have layered clothes that suit winter as well as summer. Be smart and don’t pack season-specific clothes that waste your precious space. 

2. Do Take Your Meds

Take your meds with you because it’s not gonna buy things just like that in a foreign country. You need to how to communicate in the local language, then only you can buy things. At least, you should know a few sentences.

3. Do Roll Your Clothes

Roll your clothes to stock more things into your suitcase. I don’t wanna convince you more on this. You know how much important suitcase space is, don’t you?

4. Do Bring a Comfy Footwear

It’s simple. Take things that you wear every day. Comfortable footwear is something you must have in your luggage. You need to walk a lot in a foreign country because everything is new to you. Don’t fall in your dream country with a newly bought faulty footwear. 

Let’s see some of the don’ts you would have done if you haven’t read this post. Remember, Planet Education saved you. 

5. Don’t bring food

I don’t know why people do this. They carry peanut butter, chocolates, nuts as if they are going to mars. If you had an idea of taking food, just drop it. Your study abroad destination will surely have shops that sell food. 

6. Don’t Bring Small Electric Appliances

The chances of your appliance getting fried are very high in a foreign country. You need to know the power supply input/output of the electric appliance. 

The voltage, adapter, plug point differ from country to country. You can purchase small appliances like hairdryers, trimmers, iron box once you’ve arrived. 

7. Don’t worry about missing a few things

The moment you arrive, you will think OMG I forgot! It happens. You may forget to take something that’s very important for you. 

I can give you a special tip on that. If you didn’t bring something that’s only available in your home, just put a WhatsApp, Insta, or FB status. Ask who is travelling to your abroad destination in the near future. Request them to bring the parcel. Simple!!
