What to take.

This shouldn't be this hard.

I mean, I've travelled before, and I've packed for a semester at school!  A semester of study abroad should be as easy as combining these two, right?

WRONG.

You see, while AU Abroad has given us a great list of things to pack (see below), they have failed to mention how much of everything we should have.  Fortunately, we are not the first generation of students who studied abroad since the internet was invented.  I've found a Study Abroad Blog which gives me not only the packing list, but lots of other helpful insights into the study abroad process.  I thoroughly enjoyed the blog, and hope you do too!  32 more days until Brussels!!
