⇒Packing Tips for Students Moving to Czechia
What to pack?
Packing for your study abroad semester can feel overwhelming, but focusing on three core categories—clothing, personal hobbies, and comforts from home—can help you stay grounded and prepared.
The Czech climate is characterized by long, wet winters, and contrasted by short, but hot summers. Upon arrival in September, be expecting 25-35C weather. Humidity may not be too high, but it can still get very hot and sunny – make sure you bring sunscreen and a water bottle. However, the fall will come quickly, dropping down to 5-10C, and then eventually 0C in the dead of winter – bringing warm coats, thick clothing, and base layers can be especially helpful. While it does not rain hard here, it can still be very wet and dreary; be prepared with an umbrella, hat, and/or raincoat.
