The N.U.in site staff that accompanies students abroad is fully trained and prepared to handle any emergency. Our partner institutions have assisted with setting up relationships with local hospitals nearby, and staff is aware of all safety protocols. There is an on-call phone number that students can call 24/7 to reach a staff member should an emergency situation present itself. In addition, the Boston staff have an emergency phone and are kept aware of any situations at the locations abroad. Parents are typically notified of emergencies either by their students or staff.
