We will enjoy our studies abroad when we remember the following:
I. Site/Museum/National Park Etiquette
* be on time
* pay attention
* tall people stand in back
* circulate to let everybody get close in small spaces
* don't photograph when speaker speaks; there will be time afterwards
* treat all speakers with respect
* show appreciation to all speakers
* be prepared to wait at a site for another group to finish their visit
* never pick up and keep anything at a site, even a small sherd can be a ticket to Greek jail
*do not jump on or climb on ruins
*do not pose for pictures next to any artifact in museums
*do not pick wildflowers in national parks
*do not scare the wildlife in national parks
* Treat everybody with respect.
II. Health/Safety
* take care of your bodies
* get plenty of sleep
* marble is slippery, even when dry
* don't walk on wet pavement if you can help it
* think about your feet: there are a lot of sharp things on the ground, and a lot of places to trip
*be careful when walking on old, narrow sidewalks; do not step on glass bricks (especially if they are cracked!)*** (see photo bellow)
* watch your step on archaeological sites; things collapse
* shoes: be sensible
* heat: watch dehydration; drink, suck on hard candies, wear head

IV. Hotel/Overnight Ferry Boats
*be thoughtful and considerate of your room mates at all times
*if you come in late, be careful not to disturb your room mates if they are sleeping
*be respectful of the other guests at the hotel, especially at night when they are sleeping
*be respectful between the hours of 2:00 PM-6:00 PM when many Greeks are taking a their afternoon siesta
*do not knock loudly on doors and try to avoid slamming doors
