Packing to study abroad can be a little overwhelming. How much stuff should you bring? Will you remember everything you need? And will it all fit in your bag?

So before we go any further, relax. We’ve got this covered.

To help you out, we’ve created the essential study abroad packing checklist. You won’t need everything on this list. But if you make your way through it, you’ll be sure not to forget anything and you’ll be ready to study abroad in no time.

MUST-HAVES

CLOTHES

TOILETRIES

Here’s a list of all the toiletries you’ll need, but you don’t need to bring them all with you. Only pack enough for the first few days and get the rest once you’re settled.

ELECTRONICS

HOMEWARE AND EXTRAS

If you’ve got some space left in your suitcase, try fitting a few of these in. But don’t worry too much about it – you’ll be able to get everything on this list once you arrive.

Got everything you need? Great – then you’re all set. Don’t worry if it turns out you’ve forgotten something. You’ll almost certainly be able to pick it up once you’ve arrived.
