Two Worlds United requires all participants to complete pre-departure orientations and arrival orientations; further details and dates will be included with each participant’s Two Worlds United admission package. Orientations help to prepare students for the experience of traveling abroad, Two Worlds United Students must be prepared to live in an environment as experienced by local students. This sometimes means that services and facilities are not always equivalent to what you may be used to at home, there will be many differences to adapt to. As with any international travel experience, students should be prepared to adapt to local customs and standards that may be disconcerting initially, but that ultimately will broaden the understanding and appreciation of the host country and its culture.

Participants attending Two Worlds United Summer 2010 programs, Fall Semester 2010 programs and Academic Year 2010 programs need to have their Medical Evaluations and their Immunization records returned to the admissions office no later than May 10th.
