First Hand Advice
Chico State's Study Abroad office offers Peer Advisors as an incredible asset to students looking to learn more about traveling in their choice country by someone who has actually experienced it. April is the advisor for the Czech Republic and Russia programs offered, and studied abroad in Prague during spring 2009. I had prepared a list of specific questions and general inquiries to ask April when I went to meet with her on Monday.

- Sheets and towels are provided

- She brought along a backpacker's backpack for traveling on weekends or holidays
- She left her stuff that she didn't bring traveling in her flat

- While she never had to use it, her friend did and her doctor's visits were covered
- She thinks that you pay up front at the visit and then keep your receipts to be reimbursed by the insurance
