To avoid overpacking or under-packing for study abroad, start by researching your destination’s climate and cultural norms. Create a essentials-only checklist, prioritizing versatile clothing and necessary documents. Limit yourself to one suitcase and a carry-on to enforce discipline.
Pack multi-purpose items like layering pieces and neutral colors. Roll clothes to save space and use packing cubes for organization. Leave room for souvenirs or purchases abroad. Verify airline baggage policies to avoid fees. Lastly, consult alumni or online forums for destination-specific advice. Adjust based on length of stay and laundry access.
