S2 Q&A: Can I travel home during the program?

Often during a school break, but check three things first: whether your school allows a break that term (some partners do, others don't), that your passport, F-1 visa and I-20 travel signature are valid for re-entry, and how the trip fits any transfer or CPT dates. If your visa has expired, you'd need a new one abroad, and that decision is the consular officer's. Tell your DSO and our senior admission consultant your dates before you book.
