Hello everyone, I have some helpful hints from Dr. Dimitriou!
•Purchase your textbooks from Amazon prior to departure, as they are much cheaper here.
•Bring a memory stick for your computer work to transfer it from the computer lab or laptop.
•Check your ATM card to see if it is on one of the major systems (Cyrrus, Star, etc). for Euro exchange in Greece.
•We suggest that everyone have cell phone on the trip. Allocate about $80-$100 to purchase a Greek cell phone with minutes. These are very useful for all students. You can get together and share as well! If you have a phone that can be used internationally, be sure to get the card for it in Greece.
•We also suggest that you allocate about $25 to purchase a "Phone Card" in Greece (don't buy it in the states!). This allows you to call home regularly for a very reasonable cost!
•The student apartments are wired for the Internet. Also, both Starbucks near the campus and all of Syntagma Square are Wi-Fi areas. If you bring your laptop, this would be handly to stay connected. Also remember, UINDY has a computer lab for everyone's free use!
•Give your University the course information on the classes you are taking. Bring the correct address to give to UINDY to be sure that transcripts are sent from the home campus in Indiana to your respective college.
