COVID-19 and Study Abroad

  COVID-19 and Study Abroad

By: Kinley DuRant and Nate Unger

What to know:

COVID-19, more popularly known as the Coronavirus, has been taking a world tour, since its recent outbreak in Wuhan, China.  Ranging from locations is Europe and even the United States. The messages about coronavirus through the use of social media is being taken in a variety of different directions. One big problem with the virus’ global spread, however, is among college students. The virus now poses danger to the thousands of American University students who are studying abroad in foreign countries in Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

The Center for Disease Control has advised colleges and universities to consider postponing or even cancelling upcoming student foreign exchange programs for the foreseeable future. They have issued a Level 3 warning, stating on their website that “travelers avoid all nonessential travel to Italy.” Universities are not hesitating to take action, canceling all current study abroad programs and many summer programs. Colleges like Auburn, Washington University in St. Louis, Rutgers, and even here at Clemson are among dozens of colleges to take efforts to keep their students’ on the mainland.

Here are some of the facts:

  • spanning the world from the US to Spain and Venezuela, to Nigeria
  • “study abroad & covid”
  • “study abroad & cancel”
  • “study abroad & coronavirus”
  • As expected, sentiment is trending towards mostly negative, with 68.8% of all tweets being negative and just 31.2% being positive.

In terms of societal effects, the US is really getting pummeled. The coronavirus has been an economical disaster. Thousands of flights are being canceled, losing millions of dollars for the airline industry, as well as making a dent in the travel and tourism industry. Travel screenings for international travel has become so extensive, with TSA and the government doing their best to ensure that anyone who has been in China recently, been overseas in areas that have been affected. The market has also tanked in the weeks since the coronavirus began to spread. The stock market has become volatile, and with a large portion of the global economy coming from China, the global economy is expected to slow down . On March 3, 2020, the Federal Reserve issued an emergency interest cut rate in an attempt to combat effects of the outbreak, the first time this has happened since the Great Recession in 2008.

As for us here at Clemson University, we need to be on watch. With our Spring Break coming up in just under two weeks, thousands of students are going to be traveling across the country, so they need to be on high alert as they travel. As for study abroad programs, Clemson announced Monday, March 2 nd that all students currently overseas were required to return to campus and all programs were effectively suspended. According to WYFF 4 News, this decision will affect 385 students in 6 countries abroad, along with the 100 or so called back from Italy a few days prior. Associate Vice President of Communication for the university, Joe Gailbreath, stated that an academic advisor would be assigned to each returning student. This has some ripple effects for the university. It may cause panic amongst students at Clemson with those overseas returning to campus, fearing that they may potentially bring back the virus. The university may have to pay for screening and travel to arrange for the students’ prompt return. It also costs the university money in terms of the fact that these students are no longer paying for their programs abroad, as they will almost definitely be refunded in some sort of way. As of this moment (3/3/2020), there have been no recorded cases here at Clemson , but officials are closely monitoring the ordeal.

Keep safety top of mind during Spring Break

clemson university travel abroad

Spring Break is just around the corner and many students will be heading to warm destinations for a well-deserved, mid-semester break. While it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of Spring Break, be sure to keep safety top of mind during your travels with the following tips.

Arrive safely

  • Driving through the night to make it to your sunny destination is common for spring breakers but driving while drowsy can be similar to driving under the influence of alcohol.
  • Be sure to rest up before your trip, plan stops along your route and consider stopping at a hotel you’ve researched prior to travel that is safe and clean.
  • If you can’t avoid driving through the night, drive in shifts and have at least one person stay awake to talk to the driver.

Have a plan and be prepared

  • Let a trusted person (such as a parent) outside of your travel group know where you are staying and contact information for others in your group.
  • Give that trusted person a copy of your important documents in case you lose them (ID, plane tickets, passport).
  • Know the address of your hotel or short-term rental, as well as number and location of local law enforcement agencies (or U.S. Embassy if traveling out of the country.)
  • Keep your phone charged at all times. Take a portable battery charger if needed.
  • Write down important phone numbers, in case your phone is lost or stolen.
  • Don’t tell new acquaintances where you’re staying. You never know who has innocent or dangerous intentions.
  • Secure your hotel room or short-term rental by locking the doors and securing important belongings like passports and wallets in a safe.
  • If using transportation such as Uber or Lyft, ensure the vehicle/person matches the description.
  • Don’t share your travel plans or location on social media.
  • Carry cash and take a copy of your credit cards in case they are stolen.
  • Use the buddy system. Never leave a party with a stranger and establish a place to meet in advance if you get separated. It’s always best to take a friend with you. If you do leave without your friends, give them details about where you’re going and when to expect you back.
  • Be an active bystander. If you see a situation that gives you a gut feeling that something isn’t right, take action to step in and prevent harm. Engage in bystander intervention to interrupt harm and provide support.
  • If you need help, ask for it. If there’s an emergency, call 911.

Practice safe drinking

  • Take turns so that one friend in the group per night will plan on minimal drinking to look out for everyone.
  • Watch your cup or glass and only accept drinks that you’ve watched get made or poured in front of you.
  • If you choose to drink, plan not to exceed a certain number of drinks.
  • Know the signs of alcohol poisoning and recognize if someone in your group has had too much to drink.

Take care of yourself

  • Wear sunscreen, a hat and light-weight, loose-fitting clothing when spending time in the heat. Know the signs of heat-related illnesses .
  • Drink plenty of water. Drinking caffeinated alcoholic beverages in combination with sun and heat can dehydrate you.
  • Make sure you eat, especially if you choose to drink.

If you’re traveling outside of the country:

  • Sign up online for the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) . STEP enables the State Department to contact you in case of a family emergency, or to notify you of a crisis near your travel destination.
  • Look up the address or contact information for the American consulate or U.S. Embassy in the country where you’re headed. Tell friends and relatives in the U.S. of your travel itinerary and check in with them often. 
  • Know what to do in an emergency. In foreign nations, the phone number for emergency response is not 9-1-1. Visit the  Students Abroad website  for a list of these numbers along with detailed tips for health emergencies, evacuations, natural disasters, crime victims, and assistance to U.S. citizens arrested abroad.
  • Call your credit card companies in advance to let them know you’ll be out of the country so they won’t put a stop on your account.
  • Take a copy of your passport, in case it is lost or stolen.
