The State Department's International Travel Information webpage gives general information and warns of potential risks abroad. You can also check with U.S. Embassies abroad about current political conditions. The Center for Disease Control provides international health information, including disease outbreaks and recommended immunizations. The site offers Travel Health Tips for Students Studying Abroad.

World Maps Plane Tickets
These sites offer international plane tickets. We strongly recommend repeatedly checking multiple sites as ticket prices vary significantly over time and from site to site. Websites of individual airlines also offer discount and regular fares. The Dean Rusk International Studies Program does not endorse these sites, but students have found reduced fares through them in the past. Lodging information
Inexpensive housing can be found worldwide with bed and breakfasts, hotels, host families, and especially hostels. International Youth Hostel Federation is the largest association of hostels in the world. After buying a membership, you can book nights at their hostels through the International Booking Network. There are many local hostels that are not owned by IYHF. These can be booked directly with the hostel (search a travel guide or the Web) or through these sites: Convenient Converters
