In March 2011, the University will purchase health insurance for you. The insurance will cover you for the three weeks of your summer program. If you wish to stay on after your program ends (or if you travel to your destination early, before the start of your program), this coverage cannot be extended and you will need to purchase additional insurance to cover the full period of time you will be spending abroad.
Also, you need to obtain the International Student ID Card (ISIC). It costs $22. You can purchase it through STA travel or online @ http://www.myisic.com/MyISIC/.
It is a little early to be purchasing plane tickets right now, but if you wish to do so, you should check out STA Travel or Student Universe. Both are discount travel agencies which cater specifically to students.

We do not endorse the organization that posted this comment. In fact, we do not know who they are. Students' insurance will be purchased for them through the university, as posted earlier.
