Medical insurance
Have your teeth, eyes, body checked thoroughly and have any abnormalities set right before heading out. Tests/surgery of those sorts can be very expensive here, and are not covered by UIS health insurance. For example, people have spent as much as $1500 on dental check-ups and treatment alone here or better still found it more sensible to go back to India and get their teeth in shape...and still saved! Also, get an extra pair of spectacles/contact lenses. Prepare and bring along a small medicine kit to tide you through the acclimatization period.
Most Important : According to the Illinois State Law , Proof of the following immunizations must be submitted to all state universities in Illinois:
