Travel Resources


Sundial in the Engineering Quad

Cornellians rarely stay put for long. Many travel to other parts of the world for research, studies, internships, or simply for pleasure. Most would agree that whether they are seasoned travelers or taking their first trip abroad, careful preparations before leaving can make travel much less stressful. Being aware of health, safety, and security issues and preparing for them ahead of time saves time, energy, and money later on, maximizing the travel experience.
