Health, Wellness and Safety
Studying abroad is an academic and personally enriching experience but not one without risk and potential complications. The Office of Study Abroad and Brandeis University strives to prepare students for their time abroad and assists them as they take new steps outside of their comfort zone.
Being an informed and well resourced traveler is part of this preparation and we invite students and families to engage with this information and the staff of study abroad on any topics related to health, wellness, and safety.
