Like I said before, study abroad loan is exciting… but it’s not a free pass to do whatever you want. Stay within your own personal limits and don’t do anything too out of the ordinary, or that you wouldn’t normally do at home.<br>http://www.avanse.com/studying-abroad/

Studying abroad is exciting — you get to learn about a new city, a new culture, and a new way of life. • But the number one concern I hear from students’ parents has to be “What about safety?” This question is especially common when students study abroad in a city that’s much larger than their college town back home.
Always be aware • When studying abroad, it’s easy to get lost in the sights and sounds of your host city. • Even after three years in London, I’m still captivated by the city! However, it’s important to remain aware of what’s going on around you. • If you notice something strange, don’t be afraid to duck into what might become your new favorite restaurant or move to a more populated area. • Paying attention to your surroundings and reacting accordingly is a great way to stop a potential problem before it starts.
Keep your stuff close • Keep your purse or bag in front of you with the zipper in sight; this makes you a more difficult (and thus a less attractive) target. • If you carry a wallet, take a tip from Londoners and keep it in your front pocket. (Most people from the country keep their wallets in the back pocket). • The key is making sure you know where your belongings are so that they continue to be your belongings.
Talk to people • Tap into the best resource of info about places and events: locals! Don’t be afraid to ask about places and events you should avoid (and, of course, that you shouldn’t miss). • Along with finding the hidden gems that give a place it’s special charm, talking to locals is also a great way to work on your language skills/make new friends. That being said, use your judgment.
Use the buddy system • There is always safety in numbers. If you’re going somewhere alone, let someone else know where you will be. • That way, if anything happens, at least one person knows where to find you. • At night, it’s always good to have someone with you and, even though some might make fun of you, have people text you when they get home. You can’t put a price on peace of mind!
Don’t do anything you wouldn’t do at home • Like I said before, study abroad loan is exciting… but it’s not a free pass to do whatever you want. Stay within your own personal limits and don’t do anything too out of the ordinary, or that you wouldn’t normally do at home. • Above all, be smart, use common sense, and have a great time! • Source: http://bit.ly/1OOaF6V
