Luggage

Coaches have limited space for luggage. On the excursions to Paris and the English Countryside during the first half of the program, as well as on the Italy Optional Trip (if participating) luggage is restricted to one large size suitcase with a maximum weight of 20 kilos (44 lbs) plus one small hand/day bag that can go on the coach with you. No external metal frame backpacks are allowed because their bulky shape makes coach packing difficult. Students with excess luggage may be required to ship their excess luggage at their own expense.
