1. While studying abroad can be enjoyable and safe, it’s important to understand that you will be subject to the laws and customs of the host country.

2. Verify that your passport is signed, current, and that you have any necessary visas. Additionally, before you go, fill out your passport’s emergency information page!

3. Review the consular information sheets (and any relevant public alerts or travel advisories) for the nations you intend to visit.

3. Give copies of your itinerary, passport data page, and visas to family or friends back home so they can contact you in an emergency. Keep your host program abreast of your whereabouts.

4. Ascertain that you have insurance that will cover your emergency medical needs (including medical evacuation) while you are abroad.

5. Become familiar with the local laws and traditions of the nations you are visiting. Keep in mind that you are subject to the laws of the country you are visiting.

6. Don’t let strangers deliver packages to you and never leave your luggage unattended in public.

7. When traveling, stay away from people who engage in illegal drug use or binge drinking and stay away from them yourself.

8. Wearing flashy clothing, expensive jewelry, and carrying a lot of cash or unnecessary credit cards can make you a target for thieves.

9. To avoid breaking local laws, only transact with authorized agents when exchanging money.

10. When traveling abroad, stay away from protests and other potentially tumultuous situations.

I love this information.

You omitted one of the most important tip… When you find yourself abroad, ask/find out the areas where there is a large concentration of Nigerians/Africans, once you know these locations do everything possible to avoid living in those areas (just visits) in order to avoid problems…99% of your problems will come from your fellow Nigerians.
