How should the student handle money while abroad?
We suggest that students arrive with enough traveler’s checks to pay for initial costs (essential food items, books and supplies, etc.). After that it may be best for students to use an ATM card to withdraw money from their US account as needed. ATM cards are probably the easiest way to handle money; there are plenty of compatible ATMs in Europe. Students should check to ensure that their PIN number is valid in Europe.
