LGBTQIA+, women, and underrepresented community resources Laws and social norms for gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity vary between countries, and foreign governments may or may not provide the same protection of civil liberties that are standard in the U.S. Research your host country to learn the cultural customs and norms that may impact your identities. Our Program Advisors can help too!
Emergency plan and health insurance For your protection, students are required to have health insurance coverage while studying abroad.
