Mail and Care Packages

In general, it is is not advisable to send packages abroad to students, particularly those whose contents are valuable or time-sensitive, since there is a great risk for delays in shipment and in processing by customs. Most items that students may have accidentally left behind or need can be purchased affordably and easily onsite. In the event, however, that you wish to send mail, details on doing so can be found below.
