Running list of things students need to do prior to the trip divided into 2 categories:  General and Academic. 

GENERAL

• Please install WhatsApp messaging app on your phone. This is available for both Android and iPhone (links below). It is a free app and it is free to use. Email Jeannie once this is done so she can finish creating the WhatsApp group before we leave the country. We will be using this app when we are in Ireland and Northern Ireland since not all students will be able to text using their US mobile phone service. You can text over WiFi with this app. Public WiFi is consistently available in both Ireland and Northern Ireland.

• When we arrive in a new city throughout our trip, students should download the local map of that city when they have wifi access. This will allow students to use GPS when they do not have an internet connection.
• Students should make sure that they are registered with ACIS (travel agent), have put trip info in My Travel Plans under My Northeastern, have accessed WorldAware (WorldCue), and have downloaded the WorldCue app on their phones.
• Jean will be emailing students their Letter of Enrollment. Students should print this out as they will need it to show Customs when we enter Ireland. 

ACADEMIC (to come later)
