Your safety and security in Panama
Your safety and security in Panama is always uppermost in our minds as we strive to provide all students with the best possible international education. Studying abroad is all about experiencing new cultures and learning new perspectives, by living outside of what is familiar. Study abroad also has some extra dangers, therefore, often because the laws and customs of the host country are unfamiliar. Our goal is to enable you, as FSU students in Panama, to experience all the benefits of study abroad and equip you to handle the challenges as safely as possible.
The current world climate makes the goals of studying abroad and becoming bettereducated world citizens, seem all the more relevant and immediate. We have always provided students and faculty with instructions on what to do if there is a crisis situation, such as the events of September 11th 2001. We closely follow the advice of the State Department, US Embassy and Panama Police in formulating our security procedures.
Panama’s many attractions and opportunities for amazing educational experiences still make it one of the best places in the world to study abroad.
