Phone & Communication
Having a working international cell phone is required during the semester abroad.
International plans from U.S. carriers can be expensive, so we recommend researching affordable options such as local SIM cards or international data plans in advance.
For many students, Global Scholars is not more expensive—it’s simply a different way to start Baylor.
