Staying Safe
The most important thing to remember is to stay safe. If you do not feel safe in a particular situation remove yourself or distance yourself from that situation immediately. Go to the in-country program director or foreign student adviser, or stay with a friend you can trust. If the adviser or director cannot or will not help you, call your program office and the Center for Study Abroad at the University of Rochester for assistance. Do NOT hold off on contacting someone in the hope that the situation will improve. Maybe things will work out, but do it with the assistance of the program director and someone in the Center for Study Abroad.
