Since accommodation is only temporary for this programme it is advisable not to unpack main/large pieces of luggage. Try to bring a smaller bag with the items necessary for the period of the Orientation Programme. If this is not possible, pack such items on top of the suitcase so that they are easily accessible without unpacking everything.
