A list of
small things you might not have thought of to bring when packing for your study abroad trip…

1.     
Two clothespins. If you’re rinsing
out your underwear and need to hang it to try or if you simply need to hold
together some curtains to get an extra hour of sleep, clothespins are
invaluable.

2.     
Postcards of your hometown. People
will love to see where you’re from and pictures of your city will serve as an
icebreaker for conversations.

3.     
Solar pocket calculator for foreign
currency conversion.

4.     
Earplugs and eye mask. From the plane
to the sounds of a new city, earplugs and an eye mask will get you some quiet
when you need it.
