Explore whilst you study abroad!

Studying abroad can be exciting especially once the homesickness is over. Get going and learn about the city, culture and a new way of life. Parents of students from Pakistan do have one major concern “Safety?” This question is especially becoming more relevant with changing face of the World and too much accessibility to information via 24/7 media.

The safety concerns throughout the world simply come down to common sense. Once you embark on your exploratory mission beware of your surroundings and always avoid places which are considered less safe.

Exploring the city one must always pay attention to one’s surroundings like anywhere in the world. You should always keep your money securely; better still to split it in different pockets rather than having a bulging wallet in the back pocket. If you carry a backpack, always keep it in front rather than the usual way if you have money in it. For things like laptop etc, you can wear it the conventional way.

Always keep your ID securely with you as you might need it at any time. Go to tourist offices and get the best information on places to visit, discounted tickets and any other special offerings for students. You should inquire about events in and around the city.

Avoid being an introvert; make friends and plan with your friends and if they are local you are in for a treat. Keep emergency number handy and always make sure your mobile is adequately charged and has some credit to make a phone call in case of emergency.

So studying abroad and learning new culture requires common sense and presence of mind, always keep in mind that you must respect the local customs and do not indulge in things which are considered improper or illegal.
