As a foreign student, you should take the same precautions you would in any large city, anywhere in the world.\u00a0 During orientation, we will address the issue of security in greater depth.<\/p>\n

For safety reasons, you are expected to have a local number and keep your phone charged at all times.\u00a0 The cost of this has been accounted for in your estimated personal expenses.<\/p>\n

Middlebury has partnered with Global Rescue LLC to provide travelers with access to an intelligence platform (GRID) that ensures that you are well informed and prepared before and during your travels.\u00a0 This arrangement allows you access to Destination Reports which outline medical and security risks in your host country and other countries you may visit.\u00a0 Through GRID, you are also able to view alert notifications for events that are happening around the world. In addition, while abroad, you will automatically receive health, safety, and security reports based on your destination, along with expert analysis and advice.
\nYou will receive user log-in information and instructions directly from Global Rescue in order to access this resource.\u00a0 (This email is not junk.\u00a0 Please save it!)<\/p>\n

You are required to download the Global Rescue GRID application which is available at the Apple Store (iOS 5 and above), Google Play (Android 4.4 and above), and BlackBerry App World (10.2 and above).\u00a0 Through this application, you will be able to reach out directly to Global Rescue in an emergency situation via its in-app emergency call button as well as run Destination Reports, view event alerts, and \u201cCheck-In\u201d if there is a crisis (or even a sketchy situation) in your host country, and you want to notify key staff members of your whereabouts.\u00a0 This \u201ccheck-in\u201d feature should not be used if you are in a real emergency situation, and need immediate assistance, unless you\u2019re asked to do this by your resident staff.\u00a0 In cases of emergency, please contact your resident staff or contacts that they will give you during orientation, and if that fails, then <\/em>Global Rescue.<\/p>\n
