Do I need to arrange accommodation before going abroad?

Yes, you should arrange your accommodation before traveling abroad for your studies. Securing housing in advance makes your arrival much smoother and reduces stress.

- On-campus housing: Often fills up quickly, so booking early increases your chances.
- Visa process: Some countries require proof of accommodation for your student visa - having this ready can prevent delays.

Start by checking your university’s housing options. If needed, look into private rentals or homestays, but always use reputable sources to avoid scams.

If you need help finding accommodation, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
