Arcadia Abroad's health & safety presence stretches far beyond our home base in Pennsylvania. We have an expereinced and well-connected team based in the US that works closely with our expert Resident Directors and overseas staff to ensure best practices in health and safety on all our programs. The US staff provides students with pre-departure support, liaisies on any insurance or coverage questions, and maintains a 24/7 emergency phone for you to use in the event of an emergency.
"I would recommend other students to study abroad with Arcadia because they are highly organized and put students' health, safety, and happiness first. The opportunities they allow are once in a lifetime and the trips I went on were so memorable."
