What Not To Pack For Students Going Abroad

Heavy liquids

Avoid carrying heavy liquids in your suitcase as they can leak, causing damage to your belongings and increase the weight of your luggage

Expensive items

Leave expensive items like jewellery and momentos at home. They might get lost or stolen so keep them safe at home

Lots of clothes

The weather and culturally appropriate clothes differ for each country. Don’t overpack clothes as you can buy them depending on the circumstances of the country you are going to study in

Books

Books are extremely heavy and take up a lot of space. Either carry a Kindle or purchase books once you reach your university

Bedding

Your bedding will take up a lot of space and you might have to pay an extra baggage fee while travelling abroad. It is better to buy your bedding from your host country
