more of a concern when living abroad. Without being fully aware
of one's new surroundings, you may not be aware of new risks
associated with your new home and the precautions needed to
protect yourself and your property. These concerns vary by location,
but in general, the main worries are associated with personal
safety, sexual assault, protection of personal property, racial
/ religious hate crimes or bigotry and safety issues associated
with driving (whether autos or bicycles).

become acquainted with new surroundings and the challenges it
may present. You should be certain to check with your Advisor
