Spring Break Safety TipsMSU Student Housing and Resident Life

recognizes that students need a break between

courses, studying, and papers to ensure success.

luggage.

rst aid kit, car safety and maintenance materials, water and

back home informed of any changes to your itinerary.

If you are traveling outside of the USA (including Canada

and Mexico), make sure you have an up-to-date passport,

proper visa and get to know the laws and rules of that

country.

always a good idea. Leave credit cards and ATM cards

Dont allow yourself to be taken to an isolated location.

Dont walk alone. Use a buddy system.

Never leave with someone you just met. Know the dierence
