accommodation arrangements to reach at the destination. Faculty member will not be making any
arrangement on behalf of Amity and hence no fee or subscription needs to be paid.

responsible for their daily conveyance expenses.

and Medical) and flight tickets (to and fro) and any other miscellaneous costs.

 Introduction

Amity London Business School has several different exchange programs with Amity
University New Dehli and this guide is tailored for Amity University students.

Amity London Business School is proud of its reputation. Many students choose to join us for
a semester (two months) and find that spending a period of study at a highly regarded institution
in one of the world’s most vibrant cities is not only a great experience in and of itself, but also
enhances their academic insights, employability and life skills.

Improve your employability

Studying abroad is a great way to enhance your employability. Your experiences of studying
abroad and navigating cultural and academic challenges will give you an edge in your future
career. In addition to building your cross-cultural awareness, you will acquire a range of
transferable skills that are highly valued by employers.
In general, studying abroad develops your skills as a communicator, both verbally and in
writing. At Amity London Business School, we also help you develop skills and personal
qualities such as confidence, flexibility, analytical ability, problem-solving, working in a team
and the ability to adapt to new situations.

Enhance your degree

Studying abroad gives you an opportunity to specialise further in an area that interests you.
Studying at Amity London Business School will introduce you to new and innovative ways of
learning in a different academic environment.

Develop an international perspective

Studying in a culture different from your own will broaden your understanding of the world
and how other people study and socialise. You will return home with new ideas and an
informed perspective on the world around you.

Network and make friends from all over the world

As a visiting and exchange student you will be studying and living alongside students from the
UK and all over the world. Take advantage of the range of social and networking opportunities
on offer and make life-long friendships while you do.

Once accepted:

This pre-arrival guide is designed to help you prepare for your journey and to provide some
basic information about immigration, travelling to the UK and what to expect on arrival. It will
also answer some of the questions you may have about Amity London Business School. Please
read all of the information carefully to help you plan your trip.

We understand that travelling to a different country and studying in a new place can be a
daunting experience and, no doubt, you will have lots of questions. We are here to help. Don’t
hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any queries or concerns about anything.

We hope you have a safe journey and we look forward to welcoming you in London.

Now that you have accepted your offer to study with us, it is important to start thinking about
some of these things in advance of your travel to the UK...

Accommodation

 If you have not started looking into this already, you should do so immediately. You
should arrange accommodation before arriving. You may have issues with immigration
unless you have proof of a stable address in the UK.

 Amity London Business School does not provide accommodation but has strategic
agreements with certified accommodation providers. Contact the Student Support
Officer as soon as possible for more details concerning this accommodation. Amity will
give you information regarding the method of payment once the accommodation
booking is confirmed.

 London has an abundance of privately let accommodation that you can rent by yourself
or with other students. However, searching for accommodation is a long process and
you need to start searching at least 3 months before arrival. Be very careful to ensure
the accommodation you are renting is legitimate. Amity staff are unable to find private
rented accommodation on your behalf however may be able to offer tips and general
guidance when it comes to house-hunting. You may have trouble arranging
accommodation in the private rental sector from abroad; you may need to consider
arranging temporary accommodation in a local Bed & Breakfast (B&B) or hotel for
your first few days in the UK.

 Please contact the Student Support Officer if you need help or advice regarding
accommodation.

5
As your stay in London is for a relatively short amount of time you may have trouble renting
privately as it is likely that you will have to enter into a contract for at least 6 months. Tenancy
Agreements are legally binding documents and so if you have any questions you should always
seek advice before signing one. Contact the Student Support Unit who can refer you for
specialist help if required.

Homestay Accommodation

Homestay is where you live in the home of a host family and is one of the most popular types
of accommodation for international students enrolled on any short courses at Amity London
Business School. Amity does not provide Homestay Accommodation but can help with your
search and provide advice.

Declaration Form for Accommodation

We can provide advice regarding accommodation but it is ultimately your responsibility.

You are obliged to sign a declaration form if we arrange your accommodation before the
booking is finalized. The form states that you will abide by UK Law, Amity London Business
School’s regulations and the landlords terms and conditions. You will be held liable for any
breach of these conditions and may be evicted if the breach is deemed sufficiently serious.

Visa & Immigration Advice

 Do make sure that your passport is valid and up-to-date! Normally your passport needs
to be valid till 6 months after the end of your exchange program. If you need to have
your passport renewed, do this well in advance of your travels

 It is not wise to book your flights until you receive your visa, just in case anything goes
wrong and you cannot get your flights refunded.

 You can only apply for your visa within 3 months of your intended course start date.
However, you should make sure that you meet all of the requirements in advance to
prevent any problems arising. You should contact your nearest British Embassy,
Consulate or High Commission to find out how early you can submit your
application, or check the UK visas website www.ukvisas.gov.uk

To apply for your visa you need to complete:

Application form VAF1D.
The form can be found at www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources.

Please check the visa applications centres overseas page for details of how to submit your
application in your country. www.ukvisas.gov/en/howtoapply/wheretoapply

Visa & Immigration Information

All non EEA nationals must apply for entry clearance before travelling to the UK.
Depending on your nationality you may be required to obtain “entry clearance” before you will
be allowed to enter the UK as a student. These pages will provide you with guidance on all
aspects of this part of your journey to Amity.vis

Applying for a visa can be one of the most confusing and challenging aspects of studying in
another country. We are here to help you with this process as much as possible, and this page
provides some useful information about the main types of visas which students might need.
Please remember that preparing in advance is the most important thing you can do with any
visa!

If you feel confused about anything you read in this document or are unsure of your next steps
remember we are here to help. Please contact us by email at admission@london.amity.edue.

Students who come to the UK to study on exchange programs for less than six months are
required to apply for a student visitor visa:

 Student Visitors may NOT work or volunteer while in the UK.

 You cannot switch from a Student Visitor visa into any other visa category, you would
have to leave the UK and make a new application to return in a different visa category.

 Please www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk (Click Here) for more information about Student

Visitor visas.

If you already hold a UK visa for a different immigration category, you should check the
UKBA website to see if your visa permits you to study.

Contact the Student Adviser if you require any help or guidance completing the application
form or if you wish to clarify which supporting documents you need to submit.

Remember: it is important that you keep photocopies of the completed forms and all your
supporting documents.

Amity London Business School is required to inform the UK government if a student:

 fails to enrol on their course

 stops attending their course
 is absent without consent
 withdraws from the course or defers their studies
 finishes their course earlier than expected

5
  breaches the conditions of their visa
Students seeking advice about their applications can also contact the UKCISA (UK

UKCISA Helpline number: if you are in the UK, call 020 7107 9922. If you are outside the
UK, call +44 207 107 9922. The UKCISA website also provides helpful and up-to-date
information for international students :http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/student/index.php or you can
find more information on the UKBA website.

Medical, Dental, & Insurance Matters

 Students in the UK for less than 6 months MUST purchase medical insurance before
travelling, as you will NOT be eligible for treatment under the NHS (National Health
Service).

 Don't forget to purchase appropriate travel insurance, just in case anything happens to
your luggage or any delays occur during your journey.

 Be sure to check the medical and immunisation requirements. Make sure you have been
immunised against the following diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough,
haemophilus influenza type B, polio, meningitis C, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella),
and tuberculosis. You should bring a printed record of your immunisation history as
well as any recent medical check-ups. Please check the UKBA website for country
specific medical requirement.

Cost of Living

From the moment you accept your offer to study with us it is important to start thinking about
money and how you will support yourself whilst in the UK. The earlier you start saving
money for your studies, the better! On this page we will try to provide a bit of information
about money and finances, so hopefully there will not be any unpleasant surprises once you
arrive at Amity.

The International Student Calculator is a free online tool which is really useful for managing
your money and can help you work out how to build a budget for living in the UK.
http://international.studentcalculator.org.uk/ (Click here) to go to the Calculator, enter the
money you have coming in and what you spend to see your budget.
Can I work while studying?

If you are on a student visitor visa the UKBA regulations state that you can not work in the UK
while studying.

Can my family members come with me?

Your dependants can accompany you to the UK if:

• you are studying at postgraduate level on a course lasting at least 12 months

• you are a government-sponsored student on a course lasting at least 6 months

Therefore, as a student on our Study Abroad Program you can NOT be accompanied by
dependants.

Your finances

The UKBA has specified the amount of money that you will need to show to enter the UK as
a student. Students must have proof that they have their course fees and £1000 for each month
of the course in their bank account.

Students on our Study Abroad Program you will, therefore, need to provide proof that they can
support themselves for a two month module (£2000).

The UKBA will ask to see proof of the above in the form of bank statements, a letter from
your bank or a passbook showing amounts held on your bank account. This account must
be in your name or your parents/ legal guardian’s name and funds must have been in your
account for 28 days. If using your parents/legal guardians account, you need to show
evidence that you are related to them and that you have permission to use their money. This
is usually by showing an original birth certificate and signed letter confirming your parents
are willing to sponsor you and that you are their son or daughter.
The statement or letter should be dated no more than 28 days before the date of application.

Please refer to the UKBA website for more detailed information.

Calculating Overseas Money:

If you are using overseas currency, you will be expected to show the closing balance in pounds
sterling. The UKBA use the official exchange rate on the OANDA website, which can be found
at www.oanda.com/currency/converter; we recommend you print and enclose the currency
conversion with your application.

Overseas Banks

The UKBA have now issued information about Banks from which they will not accept proof
of funds. These can be found on the UKBA website www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk. Please
make sure that you have your funds in a bank accepted by the UK Border Agency.

If you do not have your own bank account the funds in your parents account may be accepted
but the bank accounts of other family members will NOT be accepted.

In order for the funds in your parents account to be accepted as proof you will need to provide
the following documents:

 A copy of your parents bank statement

 Your birth certificate (and the translation of your birth certificate if it is not in English)

 An Affidavit signed by your parents stating they are willing to sponsor you during your
studies.

If you are being sponsored by your parents unless you provide these documents a visa letter
will not be issued.

If you have any questions please contact Amity London Business School.
Before Travelling to the UK

Travel tips

Luggage

Check with your airline to find out your baggage limit. Use good strong luggage, well-secured
and with your name and your UK address clearly marked on them. It will be your responsibility
to carry your luggage, so only pack as much as you can carry.

What to bring to the UK

 clothes
 a warm waterproof winter coat or jacket
 two jumpers/sweaters
 strong waterproof shoes or boots
 warm gloves/hat/scarf
 toiletries
 personal medicine
 laptop computer
 towels

We strongly recommend that you pack essential items such as medicine, travel
documents, maps, contact numbers and this booklet in your hand luggage. You must carry
a doctor’s note for any medicine that you bring with you. You must not bring foodstuff in your
luggage or any illegal drugs.

Cost of Living

 London is a tourist city, so there is a huge variety of choice when it comes to things to
see and do and especially with places to eat and drink! There is everything from coffee
shops and fast food to many sit-down, restaurants, so it's always a good idea to read
menus before you go into a restaurant.

 Cinema tickets cost around £9 per person. Theatre tickets can cost from £15-£50,
depending on where you sit.

 Train travel can be very expensive for longer trips, but you can get cheaper tickets if
you purchase them as far in advance as possible.

 Commuting to School on a train or bus every day can get VERY expensive, so it is
important to find accommodation near school.
  London has a good bus network which can take you to places like shopping centres
outside the city. There are weekly and month passes and student discounts, all of which
can save you money on bus travel.
 You will need to cover the cost of contacting home, which can vary greatly depending
on your phone/internet package and where you are contacting. Comparison sites such
as Cable.co.uk offer information on the best student internet deals and guidance on
making cheap international calls.

 You should plan to spend at least £50 per week on food and groceries, depending on
where you shop. Sainsburys, Morrisons, Asda, or Tesco are 4 of the largest supermarket
chains in London.

Remember that there are student discounts available for many things. You can apply for an
NUS card, plus many tourist locations and restaurants offer student discounts.

Travelling to London

Airports

When travelling to the UK, the major airports are London Heathrow, London Gatwick,
Stansted and London City Airport

Arrival in the UK

Immigration

You should have no problems going through the immigration controls, but if you do it is your
right to speak to the office of the UKIAS (United Kingdom Immigration Advisory Service),
where you can get advice and help.

Passport Control

1. Ensure you complete your Landing Card before you meet the Border Force Officer in the
UK (non EEA students)

2. Have your passport ready with you, and if you carry your passport in a protective wallet
make sure you remove it before you present it to the Border Force Officer

3. Select the correct queue – EU or non-EU.

4. The immigration officer will check all your documents – carry all your school papers ( visa
letter) in your hand luggage.
5. The immigration officer will stamp the visa page of your passport. The visa sticker
(‘vignette’) tells you how long you can stay.

6. The immigration officer will ask you questions related to the course and purpose for travel
to establish you are genuinely studying in the UK. The immigration officer will also question
you to check the standard of your English. Do not challenge the immigration officer’s decision
or give any false information but make a note of what they say.

7. Make sure you are familiar with the conditions of your visa and that you are not allowed to
work in the UK (non EEA students).

Remember: you should be sure to have your documents relating to your studies at Amity
London Business School and finances in your hand baggage.

Damaged luggage

Report any damaged luggage to the appropriate authorities in the airport terminal. If you have
insurance you will be able to claim for this. Once you have reported any damage, leave the
baggage hall.

Lost luggage

Wait until the entire luggage load has been taken off the plane. If your luggage is not there, do
not panic but report this to the authorities in the baggage hall. Do not stay in the baggage hall
once you have reported your lost luggage. Come out and continue your journey.

European Union currency controls

If you are entering the UK from a non-European Union (EU) country and are carrying 10,000
Euros or more (or the equivalent in other currencies) you must declare the cash to HM Revenue
and Customs (HMRC) at the place of your arrival in the UK. If you fail to declare any cash,
travellers’ cheques or bank drafts that you are carrying, or if you provide incorrect or
incomplete information, you could receive a fine of up to £5000. You must use the C9011 form
to make the cash declaration. Forms are available at ports and airports and also from the HMRC
website.
Visit www.hmrc.gov.uk/allforms and go to ‘Travel Forms’ to download a copy. If you are
travelling between another EU country and the UK, you do not have to make a declaration.

Travelling to London from the airport

Once you have completed your journey through immigration control and customs, you will
want to make your way to the place you will be staying. Travelling in London is very easy as
London has a very good bus, train and underground train system
We recommend that you study the tube map carefully, working out where you are going to and
then plan your route, using the information provided.

Don't worry about asking people for information or for directions - look for signs at the airport.
You may have to take a black cab (taxi) for part of the journey.

Travelling to central London from Heathrow Airport

If you are coming in to central London from Heathrow you have the option of travelling by
underground train, bus or rail links. By underground, take the Piccadilly line (blue) into central
London. By bus take an Air-bus to either Victoria train station, Russell Square or Kings Cross.
By rail link, you can catch the Heathrow express into Paddington train Station.

The cost and ease of travel is variable but the rail link takes 15 minutes and costs about £10.
The bus and tube take longer but cost less. The airport website provides lots of useful
information.
www.heathrow-airport-guide.co.uk

costs over £35.

Travelling to central London from Gatwick Airport

If you are coming to central London via Gatwick airport, you can take the Gatwick Express
train or the coach/bus. By train a single cost around £10 and takes 30 minutes to reach Victoria
Coach Station. The airport website provides lots of useful information.
www.gatwick-airport-guide.co.uk

£65.

Trains

Trains run at regular intervals .To look up train times and prices in advance, please
visit:http://www.nationalexpress.com/ or www.nationalrail.co.uk

Take care with valuables, jewellery and cash andalways carry immigration documents
and any other important papers on your person. This is especially important when
travelling on the London Underground.

Student Support

There will be lots happening during your first few weeks in the UK and it is not uncommon for
students to feel overwhelmed at times. Remember that Amity London Business School offers
a great deal of support to students – please contact the Student Support Officer if you have any
problem, large or small.

Induction Day

An orientation programme takes place at the beginning of each semester, prior to the start of
your course. The programme is compulsory for all international students and will include
workshops and information sessions; the extensive services we provide, and about studying in
the UK and life in London. You will have the chance to meet staff and make friends with other
international students.

Amity London Business School Information & Facilities

University of London’s Birkbeck College, on Maletstreet.

Arriving at Amity London Business School: what you can expect in your first few days...

 There will be campus tours and city excursions during your stay.

Facts about the UK

Climate and clothing

British weather can be changeable throughout the year. During the summer months (June to
August) temperatures can reach 25°C – 30°C, whilst in the winter it can drop to around 5°C
during the day, and there is usually some snowfall in January or February. You will need to
make sure that you have adequate clothing to cope with the changes in British weather. It would
be wise to bring the following:
• a warm waterproof winter coat or jacket
• two jumpers/sweaters
• strong waterproof shoes or boots
• warm gloves/hat/scarf

It may be cheaper to buy some of this clothing when you arrive in Britain. You will be warmer
wearing several thin layers of clothing rather than one single thick layer of clothing. Dress in
Britain is mostly very informal. You can wear your own style of clothes but you will probably
need extra warm clothes and a winter coat as well.

Cost of living in London

You will need at least £1000 per month to cover basic living expenses, depending on your
personal lifestyle. Please ensure that you have sound, reliable funding from a sponsor or your
family before you leave. Make sure that you have enough funds to cover the cost of living.
Most students need around £2000 to cover all living expenses. Please note this does not
include the cost of your tuition fees. When agreeing an accommodation contract, a landlord
may expect you to pay a month’s rent in advance. If you are renting privately you will have to
budget for bills – for example light, heat, water, telephone and internet rental. You may also
have to pay for temporary accommodation on arrival. This will cost approximately £40- £70
per night. Below are examples of the costs of some essential items you will need whilst you
are in the UK:

• Books and equipment (per semester)£200

• Coat £20-£100
• Boots £30-£60
• Jeans £20-£60
• Warm jumper £10-£30
• Trainers £20-£80
• Accommodation (per week) £90-£190
• Food (per week) £50
• Travel for a week £15-£20
• TV Licence £139.50

The prices given are an approximate guide to costs. You might find it useful to use the
Education UK online budget planner at www.educationuk.org/budgetplanner to help you
organise your finances. We would recommend that, if possible, you open a bank account with
one of the multinational banks (eg HSBC) before leaving your country. This account can then
be transferred to London and you should be able to use any cash machine (ATM) as soon as
you arrive.

£50 notes – please note that although £50 notes are legal tender in the UK they are not in
common circulation and you might therefore have difficulties using them. When ordering UK
currency try to avoid receiving £50 notes. If you do have any problems using £50 notes once
in the UK you can change them at any bank.
Electrical equipment

Electricity in Britain is supplied on 240volts/50Hz cycles. You should ensure that any electrical
appliance you intend to bring with you will work safely on this voltage and bring adapters to
help convert the voltage when necessary.

SINGAPORE PRE-ARRIVAL GUIDE

DO'S AND DON'T'S

There are several do's and don't's that a visitor should remember while in Singapore.

 Handshaking is a warm way of greeting others regardless of racial background. Once invited to a home
remove your shoes and also while entering a temple or a mosque.

 Laws relating to littering are strictly enforced in urban areas, so don't litter while in Singapore. Other
don'ts in Singapore include no smoking in public areas including restaurants. Dropping a cigarette end
in the street would lead to fine of minimum S$ 350+ 7% GST.

 Be punctual for the appointments. Exchange of cards is quite common and while giving hold it with
both hands. It is considered proper to address by using Mr., Mrs. or Miss and not first names.

 Don't touch opposite sex as it may not be received in a good light. On the other hand don't point with
your finger this is considered rude and you may use entire hand with the palm to draw attention.

 There are strict penalties for possession and use of drugs as well as for trafficking in illegal
drugs. Trafficking charges may be brought based on the quantity of illegal drugs in a subject's
possession, regardless of whether there is any proven or demonstrated intent to distribute the
drugs. Convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. Singapore has a mandatory
death penalty for many narcotics offenses. Singapore police have the authority to compel both
residents and non-residents to submit to random drug analysis and do not distinguish between drugs
consumed before or after entering Singapore in applying local laws.

 Visitors should be aware of Singapore's strict laws and penalties for a variety of actions that might not
be illegal or might be considered minor offenses in the United States. These include jaywalking,
littering and spitting. Singapore has a mandatory caning sentence for vandalism offenses. Caning may
also be imposed for immigration violations and other offenses.

 There are strict penalties for those who possess or carry arms, or who commit crimes with
arms. Singaporean authorities define "arm" as any firearm, air-gun, air-pistol, automatic gun,
automatic pistol and any other kind of gun or pistol from which any shot, bullet or other projectiles can
be discharged or from which noxious liquid, flame or fumes can be emitted, and any component part
thereof. This definition also includes any bomb or grenade and any component part thereof. The
unlawful possession of any arm or ammunition could result in imprisonment and caning. Any person
convicted of committing a crime with an arm could receive punishment which could result in the
maximum penalty of imprisonment for life and caning.

 Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign
country is a crime, prosecutable in the United States. In Singapore, local law prohibits causing or
encouraging prostitution of, or engaging in sexual relations with, a female below the age of 18. An
 indecent assault against anyone, male or female, regardless of age, is also prohibited. Those convicted
of facilitating or abetting the prostitution of any woman or girl could be sentenced to imprisonment of
up to five years and a fine or both. If the crime involves a female below the age of 16, the offender
faces an additional charge carrying a possible sentence of imprisonment of up to three years and a fine
or both.

 Singapore enforces strict laws pertaining to the propriety of behavior between people and the modesty
of individuals. The Singaporean law "Outrage of Modesty" is defined as an assault or use of criminal
force on any person intended to, or knowing it to be likely to, outrage the modesty of that
person. Penalties may include imprisonment for up to two years, a fine, caning, or a combination
thereof. Men are sometimes accused of inappropriately touching other people, often women, resulting
in their prosecution and punishment under this Singaporean law.

 ANY POSSESSION OF CIGERATTE OR LIQOUR IS SUBJECT TO CUSTOMS

CLEARANCE AND FINE.

 Special Circumstances: Singapore customs authorities enforce strict regulations concerning

temporary import and export of items such as weapons, illegal drugs, certain religious materials,
pornographic material, videotapes, CDs, DVDs and software. Singapore customs authorities'
definition of "weapon" is very broad, and, in addition to firearms, includes many items which are not
necessarily seen as weapons in the United States, such as dive knives, kitchen knives, handcuffs and
expended shell casings. Carrying any of these items without permission may result in immediate
arrest. All baggage is x-rayed at every port of entry, so checked baggage will also be inspected for
regulated items.

Do’s and Don’ts for Visitors
 Do not ask personal income, assets, or other financial info. Do not
ask women’s marital status, age, or price of clothing
 Do not give white lilies as gifts
 Do not forget to greet children. American children are treated equal
to adults
 Do take off hat, coat, and sunglasses indoors
 Do hold doors for people
 Timing. Americans are pretty punctual. If you agree a time to meet,
get there at that time. If it’s a business appointment (for example,
an interview) you will be expected to arrive early.
 Rules of the road. Traffic laws are strictly enforced. If you are renting
a vehicle to get around, familiarize yourself with the do’s and don’ts
of driving in the U.S.
 Jaywalking refers to recklessly crossing the road – on foot. In some
cities and states, pedestrians must cross the road at designated
points (i.e. traffic lights or pedestrian crossings) or you will risk a
fine. If you do it by accident and are caught, best thing to do is
apologize.
 Race is a very sensitive issue in the USA, as there are people from
many different countries often living in close proximity. As a result,
avoid making any comments relating to someone’s racial identity
(skin color, dress etc.). In addition, you may not realize what
someone’s background is (i.e. their parents may be from another
country, not the USA) and so refrain from making remarks about
other countries.
 Smoking is not allowed in many public places. Even if you’re
someone where it is allowed, it’s polite to check with those around
you before you light up.
 Happy Holidays. Instead of "Merry Christmas" or any other religion
specific greeting, it is best to say "Happy Holidays" in case you want
to wish someone
Do’s and Don’ts for New York
City
 DON’T Block the subway doors
 New York City subways can get crowded! Respect the other
travelers and move into the center of a subway car when you board
a train. Don't cluster near the doors, making it hard for other people
to get on and off the train.
 DON’T lean on the subway pole with your whole body. You block it
for everyone else. Just hold on with your hands.
 New Yorkers are speed-walking pros—they have places to be, and
walking is the best way to get there fast. It's understandable that
tourists want to walk slowly and take in the scenery, but please
don't block the entire sidewalk doing it. Walk on the right side in
small groups—and don't hold hands doing so..
 The majority of city residents don't drive, so the sidewalks are like
streets, with the same type of "traffic" laws. Respect them and
don't stop dead in the middle of the street to take a picture or to
consult your map. Instead, "pull over" to the side so that pedestrian
traffic won't run into you.
 DON’T get on an empty subway car. Odds are, that train car is empty
for a reason, be it broken air-conditioning or a spilled bodily fluid.
 DON’T be afraid to ask for directions. Just don’t stop traffic while
doing so. DON’T go around staring at everyone you meet on the
street or in the subway though.
 DON’T bring large backpacks. Large, bulky backpacks not only take
up valuable space in the subway or on the sidewalks, you might also
hit someone with them when you're not paying attention.
 DO be careful when you stare up. Tourists are easily spotted
because they walk around staring up at the tall buildings in
Manhattan. This can cause you to be a target for theft because
you're not paying attention, or you will walk into things and people
on the sidewalk.

Things to do on Long Island
Artie’s South Shore Fish & Grill: Want your seafood straight from the
sea? Locals swear by this restaurant and market which offers clams ($7
per dozen), a lobster roll or the catch of the day, pulled in by owner
Artie Hoerning himself. We like it even more for its no-frills plastic
cutlery, picnic tables and super casual atmosphere. 4257 Austin Blvd,
Island Park (516-889-0692)
Long Beach: Long Beach is Nassau County’s self-proclaimed City by the
Sea. Mandatory beach passes ($12 per day) make sure things never get
too crowded, and vendors are on hand to rent out umbrellas, chairs and
other essentials. Work up an appetite with a jaunt along the two-plus
mile boardwalk—it dates back to 1914 and was recently refurbished
after Superstorm Sandy—before heading to the charming Diner by the
Sea for a stack of pancakes. It’s right across the road from the LIRR
station.
Old Westbury Gardens : Channel your inner Daisy Buchanan at this
mansion and gardens owned by steel heir John Shaffer Phipps and his
family—a site so iconic that it inspired the set for Baz Luhrmann’s The
Great Gatsby. Since 1959, the 100-plus-year-old estate has been open
to the public, who come to smell the roses (and daffodils and poppies

D’Angelico guitar played in the wedding scene of The Godfather, one of
Les Paul’s original Gibson guitars and an 1840 La Cote guitar.
The African American Museum of Nassau County in Hempstead
highlights the many cultural contributions of the African American
community. The permanent collection features Eubie Blake’s piano, and
there are special events and changing exhibits.
Parks and Gardens: Long Island is home to a number of hiking trails like
the ones in Garvies Point Preserve, which lead down to a quiet beach,
and some wonderful wildlife refuges like the Oyster Bay National
Wildlife Refuge. The Nature Conservancy’s Uplands Farm features a
double-loop trail surrounded by red cedar, oak, hickory and other tall
trees. Butterflies and birds, as well as wood frogs and salamanders frolic
in the area’s pools in season.
Art Galleries: It’s free to browse through many art galleries. Some
colleges here also have art galleries that are free and open to the public.

Travel Card

Myki is a transport card which can be used on trains, trams and buses across Melbourne metropolitan areas.
Each participant is required to purchase a myki card then top up myki pass in order to commute to Swinburne during your stay in Melbourne.
We suggest you to upload your myki card with five-week myki pass (full fare, zone 1+2) which will cost have a top-up fee of ($163.80). This will enable you to
use the public transport throughout your stay in Melbourne (21 April – 25 May, 2018).

Please make sure you have a valid ticket when using the public transport as traveling without a valid ticket will result in a significant amount of fine if caught by
inspectors. To travel to Swinburne, take the train on the Lilydale, Belgrave, Blackburn or Ringwood lines, and get off at Glenferrie Station. Make sure you check
the monitor at the platform to see if the train stops at Glenferrie Station before boarding (please note that Glen Waverley Line does not go to Glenferrie). Some
trains skip Glenferrie Station if they are express. The train will take about 15 minutes to get to Glenferrie Station.
