When students have free time in Johannesburg they must get the director's authorization before going out on their own. Preferably, students should not walk around alone if at all possible and should use their common sense when selecting areas to explore. In both places, students should keep the doors of their rooms locked at all times, even when you are in the room. Do not leave money, jewelry, or plane tickets lying around in the room. Either leave it in something that can be locked or take it with you.
Students are also responsible for replacing any plane tickets or traveler s checks that are lost.
Health No shots are necessary for South Africa but tetanus should be up to date and a hepatitis A shot is recommended. Prior to our departure, we hope to have Dr. Merrill Miller of Campus Health discuss with you certain health safety precautions when travelling abroad. If someone should have an accident or become ill, medical facilities are extremely good in South Africa.
